If you need to deploy Docker containers, Amazon Fargate is a very good fit. It integrates very well with other AWS services like RDS, EFS, and Secrets manager. You can have a very robust application using those services. In case you have many containers to deploy, it is however more expensive
that if you use other services like ECS or EKS, since they allow you to
share the same infrastructure to deploy multiple containers.

Looking for a reasonably priced and dependable cloud solution, I suggest IBM Cloud Virtual Servers to everyone. For businesses needing excellent uptime and performance free from the trouble of running actual servers, it's fantastic. However, it may not be the best choice if you need hands on support for server configurations.

Cons
  • can't think of any

  • the pricing structure is complicated, and the servers are expensive. I really think they should offer better pricing options and support for more languages
  • sometimes the servers go down, and they take too long to respond to support tickets
  • uploading documents is slow since I have to do it one by one, making the process much longer than it should be
