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.

A scalable and stable solution that has good scalability and is easy to setup
It is a scalable solution. I have yet to have a scenario regarding automatic scale and if there's an increase in resource requirement or need. We have yet to have that scenario. We have yet to test that. The scalability was more than manually adjusting and increasing whatever I had to do. I rate it eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

"Amazon AWS has good performance and easy management."
"I believe it's a great product and great technology."

Cons

"The web console of AWS is not so user-friendly."
"Amazon tools are for more mature DevOps. The process and the Dev is very good, but it doesn't compare to the ease of using the Google Cloud Platform."
"The price could be better. Support for data analytics could be better. I don't see much support for data analytics. They have a lot of support in Azure, but I don't see a lot of innovation on the data analytics side in AWS."
"However, I was a bit disappointed with the AWS representative for Brazil."
"The solution would be better if it was more secure."
"An integrated platform would make it easier for administrators to monitor and manage."
"Amazon AWS could improve by being more secure and adding more features."
"We have had several issues with the products and services but as of now, there are no good alternatives."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"The security layers also need to be improved because there is no clear layer or tier of security in the solution."
"An S3 like storage system, if they have a s3 API compatible system I can move my files from AWS."
"The backup features need improvement, or rather it should be added, as I could not find it."
"The backup functionality needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration into enterprise storage products."
"For now, some customers are requesting support of Docker containers for Windows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"We are reducing costs year-over-year."
"AWS is cost-effective because it saves time. Faster deployments and testing make it very valuable."
"AWS is expensive and the cost should be reduced."
"AWS is scalable depending on your needs so pricing is dependant on what you use."
"For our infrastructure, the cost is approximately $25 per device, and you have to include the other tools that we have in the cloud, for a total of approximately $200,000 per year."
"With Amazon AWS, you pay as you go."
"Its pricing can be simplified a little bit more. Even though they have been reducing it, I still believe they can do better as compared to GCP, Google Cloud."
"I would rate the cost 3 out of 5. There are additional costs other than licensing fees."
"Pricing for providers is revenue-shared based. Providers should invest in hardware to set up the Jelastic cluster."
