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.

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.

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.
