What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The best thing about AWS is that we get everything in one place. Once we get basic knowledge of all the available services we can set up our entire digital business in the AWS cloud itself. Since AWS provide services on a pay as you go model this reduces the upfront costs for any company and we can simply focus on our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

Even though most of the services are affordable, some services are expensive when we compare their worth to their usage. If we leave the services active without knowledge we might end up paying a hefty amount.Also, I feel if we have an option to shut down/stop all the services or an option to select the active services that can be stopped that will be the best thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Cloud:

If you have security issues then it's better to use on-premise servers else go for AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

AWS is bringing every digital need of a techie/business into their platform as a service and we don't need to go out and look for anything outside. I am planning to implement my digital business in AWS servers since it is cost-effective and easy to use. I have learned a lot of infrastructure-related concepts like networking, DNS, security groups etc while using AWS for my company and my R&D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Community builder is adding yearly and the checklist is quite high, Even senior-level cloud engineers are not able to meet the requirements if they are not publically exposed so well, So AWS can give them chance and disable them if they are not fulfilling their responsibility, My kind of people only react when you assign some task with them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

EKS eases the work of handling and doing production-ready managed services. The most benefit of running EKS is that it provides highly portable and allows DevOps teams to focus on application functionality over environmental configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)?

There are two options to manage applications via EKS one of them is EC2 based which is quite lengthy and complex to understand. The other option via Serverless Fargate is costly, so it kind of doesn't make sense to use EKS via serverless. The EKS community is still lesser, once we see more users moving to kubernetes and EKS, the complexity would reduce and we might see it being used by beginners as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are completely into Kubernetes and all our applications are deployed via EKS. We are easily able to manage our applications which is saving us a lot of time and money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
