What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
Amazon EC2 offers per second billing option to the Linux instances we use, so we don't need to use machine for a single second more than needed. Unlike EC2 other similar products don't offer per second billing option, we need to pay for certain amount of time even though we just use to run a simple query which will be completed in seconds.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favourite aspect of the Amazon EC2 instances is it's wide range of OS family collection. We can choose from most basic to the cutting edge tech OSes with high compute resources. The best thing is we can spin up any VM in seconds. Also the Savings and Reserved Instances plan helps our team to save a lot of money.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Nothing to dislike about Amazon EC2 at this point of time as it has everything we need.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are looking to host your applications in cloud without the maintenance headaches of the VMs, please go for EC2.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy

What is your favorite aspect of this product?
1. Scalability: AWS allows you to easily adjust your online resources. Think of it like adding more seats to the table when more guests arrive and removing them when they leave. This flexibility ensures your website or app can handle any number of users without breaking. 2. Reliability: Its like having a backup generator for your power supply.

What do you dislike most about this product?
For beginners, it might be much more challenging to use or configure its configuration and its cost is very high when doing heavy load tasks or we are using many instances at the same time.

There are 200+ services which AWS provide and we may not require all these, Thus by selecting the services as we need will help in reduce the cost.
