The perfect tool to collect infrastructure metrics
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
For the health inspections of our cloud services, CloudWatch is essential. Every subsequent project in any AWS cloud application can use the software after only a single configuration. The metrics allow for the creation of new ones and are very adjustable. It effectively supports real-time monitoring. In order to meet specific needs, it can be highly customized to meet those needs.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It features a unique method for analyzing log data in the form of metrics and events, which eventually led to a fantastic live statistics display. It can control all EC2 instance logs and those from other integrations, data ingress, and even internal traffic monitoring. This utility makes it simple to perform various automated responses to failures. Additionally, it significantly lowers the amount of downtime for our essential cloud services.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Comparing the weak authorization approach to other AWS services' low capabilities compared to rivals, the Weak web console is not feasible for a deep connection to a specific metric in a particular account. As a result, we cannot appropriately incorporate metrics into our run books, playbooks, or alerting tools. It doesn't support instance-related metrics.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Open the door to monitoring virtually everything in the cloud, from development to production to service. You can quickly perform root cause analysis and save time after everything is set up and connected to the data source or result. This service is beneficial when it comes to monitoring and maximizing resource usage. We may establish alerts to identify problems with the applications and find them very quickly.

An innovative public cloud platform.

What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
The most dependable yet affordable cloud platform with a wide range of possibilities for both people and businesses is, without a doubt, Amazon Web Service. Because of its excellent scalability and modular architecture, no work is hampered or stopped. The safest and most reliable public cloud platform is Amazon Web Services. We have long been utilizing this cloud infrastructure platform.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
With this help, I can expand my storage limit in a cost-effective and innovative way, and the data transmission speed is excellent. The APIs make it simple to interact with and offer us ownership; we no longer need to do drawn-out conference calls to convey our needs to an intermediary or salesperson. Scalability and dependability of the supporting infrastructure.
What do you dislike most about this product?
These are the aspects of this cloud platform that I don't like since the ongoing maintenance, integration, and deployment are not up to par, the integration is difficult to operate, and on the other hand, maintenance costs are pretty costly. When using a hybrid cloud, certain features must be developed in the public cloud to consume the data, which is still a worrying truth regarding security features.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
We rely heavily on Amazon Web Services to maintain our mobile and web applications. AWS is one of the public cloud platforms that we have been using. This safe and convenient cloud computing platform offers excellent commercial services. You can get in touch with the staff if there is a problem.
