AWS Auto Scaling Reviews

We wanted a determined retail solution in Amazon. Over the course of using it, we have fifteen networks, and we're still using Kubernetes with our Amazon service. We have many specs for another environment. We can configure it easily in other environments using Amazon with Kubernetes scaling. 

It's very valuable for our company. 

We like that we can still work with Kubernetes. 

The setup is easy. 

It can scale.

I would like to improve the price of the licensing. It could be cheaper. 

I've used the solution for two years. 

The stability is very good. I'd rate it ten out of ten. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability is very good in general. We can scale it with ease. It's easy to use with Kubernetes, and we can expand it out as needed. 

We likely have around 70,000 users. We do have plans to increase usage in the future. 

We have used technical support. They are quite helpful and responsive.

It's easy to set up the solution. 

When we set up the solution, we set up it up to use CI/CD for deployment. It's very fast to deploy. 

We needed four technical people to handle the deployment process.  We had one manager and three developers. 

The solution can be a bit expensive. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using at this time. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. 

I, currently, have a large customer with more than 30 servers, which we provide APIs to their customers for online gaming. Their customers are divided into three regions, namely, Asia, Europe, and the rest of the world.

If the three default servers required for each region reaches 50% capacity, new servers are automatically launched and the traffic is divided among them.

We follow continuous integration or continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices. When all servers are working correctly, we create new servers, configure them, delete the old servers, and the new servers are immediately deployed.

Initially, our clients were facing a lot of issues with their servers using another cloud platform. The main issue was that their server slowed down when they had more traffic.

Once we moved them to AWS and created the appropriate architecture, it solved the problem.

The most valuable feature is the ability to select a minimum amount of active servers so that a new server automatically launches if one fails.

The only area of improvement is the speed at which servers are launched. When cleaning up to six servers at a time, it can take up to 15 to 20 minutes to launch new servers.

I have been using the solution for more than 2 years.

The solution is stable and does not require much maintenance.

The solution is scalable and still working perfectly.

The customer service/technical support is quite responsive.

I previously used XO Communications, which was very complicated. Whereas AWS Auto Scaling is user-friendly and easy to understand.

Additionally, AWS is a very well-documented solution, which makes it even easier to use.

The initial setup of the solution was straightforward.

For large customers, the deployment of the solution takes around one month to complete on-site. For small customers, the deployment is faster and we have the option to do it telephonically.

The pricing is good. I have not had any customers that have complained about the price.

Previously, when I did not know about Auto Scaling, I would manually configure servers and provide it to a customer, but the price was very high. Now, everything is configured automatically. Therefore, I would recommend AWS Auto Scaling.
