What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

As a software engineer, there are several things that I really love about AWS! First and foremost, I appreciate the exceptional scalability and elasticity it offers. With AWS, I can easily expand or shrink resources based on the demands of my application, ensuring optimum performance and cost optimization.

Another great aspect is the wide range of services provided by AWS. Whether it's computing power with EC2, data storage with S3, or managed databases with RDS, AWS has a comprehensive suite of tools to meet my needs. It also integrates seamlessly with other popular developer tools, making development and deployment workflows streamlined.

The security features of AWS are also impressive. With extensive compliance certifications, robust encryption options, and built-in security measures, I can trust that my applications and data are well protected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

The only thing I dislike about AWS is that they frequently update their UI, which can sometimes make it difficult to find the right option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
