Cost Effective Virtual Machine AWS
Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
EC2 is begin used in our organization for a little over 2 years. EC2 has addressed cost and quality, but not customer support, in comparison to GCP and Azure. We are running a few workloads on AWS, including EC2. We moved to AWS after we faced a major performance drop in GoDaddy VPS, and cost was peaking out. Then we evaluated AWS and moved on
Pros
- Best in performance
- Offers so much customization and security measures
- Very cost effective
Cons
- Upgrading of EC2 core components should be pre-announced to the customer, rather than crashing the server (which happened to me in 2017 more than 8 times.)
- Customer support is very costly and not that effective on cases, if bought
- For choosing the Mumbai region, I had to get authorization from AWS support. It was a very awkward and lengthy process: it took 2 days for the request (this happened to us in Dec 2017.)
Likelihood to Recommend
It's good to use low end EC2, which cost a few cents an hour for those who are testers (who just need to evaluate it).
Blogs and Personal website can be hosted at a very cheap cost (approx. $20) and in a way that's more secure than any other cloud providers. And for high performance EC2, go for Reserved Instances which is more affordable than unreserved instances
