Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AWS Cloud is being used by the organization and we have multiple VPC, which hosts a different set of applications/servers per specific department need. The advantage is high availability and scalability.

Pros

  • High availability
  • Scalability
  • On-demand
  • Performance

Cons

  • Peak load at specific times
  • Doesn't help if Infra selection is bad
  • Cost

Likelihood to Recommend

1. Biggest advantage is scalability
2. You can add infra capabilities as and when needed
3. High availability
4. Full access to server details, don't need to depend on other vendors

One disadvantage I can think of is COST.
Even when AWS says you pay what you need, isn't correct but you need to keep your infra on standby to use it when you need and that involves cost.

Cloud based environment for software development on Amazon

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AWS Cloud9 is being used as the cloud-based IDE by my team and part of the organization. The business problems it solves is the need for an integrated environment that allows for pair programming. This helps reduce bugs and other issues when it comes to writing some application code. Since it is cloud-based, we don't have to save the code and push it back and forth anymore, thus saving time.

Pros

  • Environment isolation
  • Pair programming
  • Software development and code editor

Cons

  • Code highlighting
  • Code folding
  • Plugins and extensions
  • Localized editing

Likelihood to Recommend

AWS Cloud9 is great for product engineering and coding where you must take time to pair program and code in a specific isolated environment. It is entirely cloud based so there's no worry about saving and data consistency. It is all hosted on the Amazon Web Services cloud. It is less appropriate for more general workflows that don't require a specific cloud instance.
