Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Reviews

We are using this product within our cloud-based development environment.

The most valuable feature is the seamless transition from the development environment to production.

The interface is simple to use.

The monitoring tool is helpful.

Ask set of questions like expected number of users, redundancy, up time per day and etc when creating a new instance. This would help the user to choose the right EC2 configurations.

We have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for more than a year.

We have had no problems with the stability of this product.

We have not had any issues with scalability since our implementation.

In our development environment, we have 20 members. When it moves into production then there will be more than 1,000.

I have not been in contact with technical support. They have good documentation and we consult it when we have a problem.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The pricing is not fixed and it is based on usage.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this product is to consider their budget in conjunction with the configuration that they need. That is something that you have to be careful with. If it is too high-end of a configuration then you may not use it.

In summary, this is a good product that I can recommend.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I use it for running Tomcat applications to restore the RDS, the database for getting the data. It then generates a UI. 

I am using it only for practicing purposes. I am trying to test the auto-scale feature and see how it works when we increase any workload.

It's good performance-wise.

Scalability can be improved. 

I have been using this solution for around two to three months. It is mostly for personal practice purposes when I want to learn or practice anything, like research.

It is stable. 

I try to do auto-scaling. It sometimes works. At other times, I'm not able to generate that load. I am still testing out my application.

I didn't contact technical support. I just go through the documents.

The initial setup was simple. It took me an hour to install. 

Pricing could be a little bit more competitive.

I haven't explored it that much, so it's only basic use. I would recommend this product. 

I would rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling an eight out of ten.
