Managed cloud services have helped accelerate experiments with flexible configuration options
Sometimes the costs associated with spinning up a service, especially managed services, have implications. For example, if I create a Glue job, that will create S3 buckets and other resources that have cost implications, but once I clean up a Glue job, it does not delete the other accessory resources. Sometimes, I have to go hunting for what resources Amazon AWS might have provisioned and how it is costing behind the scenes. It can be complex depending on your level of expertise. It is not as easy to get started, especially when it comes to secure practices. Amazon AWS is more hands-on than other platforms.

They deployed and maintained our cloud infrastructure.
There should be the improved ability to speak directly to resources over the phone, rather than just through tickets and emails. Logicworks provides DevOps-as-a-Service functionality and is not really a software solution. My only issue with them is that it is difficult to talk to anyone live, as they manage all their service tickets through emails or their ticket portal. Perhaps, an enhancement that could be a button on the portal which could connect you via a web conference with the resource assigned to the ticket, would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is easy to spin up resources."
"AWS has very good technical support."
"The scalability of Amazon AWS is excellent. I would rate it as a 10 out of 10 because they have massive power."
"For testing, it is a cheap alternative to having to build your own labs."
"The solution is absolutely stable, and this is one of its best features."
"The whole IaaS model is an invaluable service, and the ease of deployment, maintenance, and scalability, and pay as you go model make AWS an amazing platform to build on."
"The best thing is scalability."
"Here is the cool thing, as an Enterprise/Cloud Architect you have a MASSIVE library of services (40+ at time of writing) that you can use to develop Cloud-based solutions for your customers."
"The stable environments, outsourcing of IT allowing us to keep very light headcount for the DevOps are the most valuable features of this solution."
 

Cons

"The cost structure could be better. It needs to be more transparent."
"What is hard with the public cloud service like AWS, is ensuring you maintain a good budget."
"We have a very good approach internally with what we have developed. It involved overcoming some hurdles regarding the single point of truth or single point of configuration, which is sometimes not that easy for AWS. There are dashboards and you have your web service, but bringing all these together and orchestrating is sometimes quite difficult."
"I think Amazon AWS could be improved cost-wise, as the expenses can be considerable."
"In the next editions, the use of this tool should be extended to Google and Apple operating systems."
"Latency: EC2 Container Service is not quite zero downtime as claimed."
"The console's UI could be a little better, a fluid User Experience is missing."
"Amazon AWS could improve its user interface to make it more user-friendly, especially for people who are not highly technical."
"My only issue with them is that it is difficult to talk to anyone live, as they manage all their service tickets through emails or their ticket portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I was going to compare the cost of Amazon AWS to Microsoft Azure, they are approximately the same."
"The pricing depends on the workload. For example, if your workload involves Windows technologies, AWS may not be the most cost-effective option. In that case, you might be better off with Azure."
"It is not the cheapest one, but there is a good ratio between the quality of service and the pricing. Its price is good for me."
"I find that Amazon AWS is expensive."
"The Oracle licensing is higher than it is with Amazon AWS."
"From a cost perspective, Amazon AWS is excellent. You need to pay for a license to use AWS, and the license could be cheaper, but in each of the cases and instances I've used AWS, there has been a good chance to save money."
"It's pay-as-you-go... but I think the pricing becomes a problem as the IT organization grows. They need to give better pricing when companies grow."
"This is not an expensive product but it would be an improvement if the price were cheaper."
