What differentiates Amazon EC2 from other similar products?
AWS differs from the rest because it offers the most complete range of services and products, in addition to an incredible attention to detail in each service they provide. AWS guarantees us a quality that for now we do not see in another provider
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect is that in 1 hour or less I can have a complete infrastructure for an application or development in an easy and timely way (of course, if you know how to do it)
What do you dislike most about this product?
One downside is how overwhelming it can be to see the AWS console for the first time and not realize how many options and configurations you have to have an infrastructure that suits your needs.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you come from a network of on-premises servers, you should consider that the cloud changes the paradigm and you will pay for everything you use, that is why it is so important to optimize in detail the processing and storage requirement that you need for your application, in addition to considering communications and security offered by AWS
