We performed a comparison between Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Compute Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The integration capabilities are good."
"The most valuable features are that it is stable, flexible, and reliable."
"The solution incorporates ease of maintenance and reduction in operational overhead and costs. Patching is also easy."
"Service for launching or terminating Amazon EC2 instances, with good scalability and stability."
"Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling operates at a different level, working in parallel to efficiently manage workload distribution. Primarily, it focuses on orchestration rather than directly managing EC2 instances for deployment and configuration. It uses automated processes to deploy and manage ports, leveraging Application Load Balancers to effectively handle data communication and management."
"One of the most important benefits is that a company can optimize resources because Auto Scaling deploys resources when needed. For example, for Black Friday, a company can deploy 100 servers for a couple of days. When Black Friday is over, the company can delete those servers."
"Applications deployed on EC2 instances can easily integrate with other AWS services. For example, you can connect your EC2 Auto Scaling group to a tool like CloudWatch for health checks and anomaly detection."
"It's good performance-wise."
"Subnetting is beneficial for organization and security. Within our setup, we have multiple VPCs with many different subnets defined by IP range."
"Amazon Virtual Private Cloud isolates networks and offers robust network security. It also adds two network security layers."
"The product’s firewall is very good."
"The product is flexible and easy to use."
"One person with capable knowledge can implement the solution."
"It has been a stable product. I haven't seen any bugs so far. It's been good and reliable."
"One important tool we use is Transit Gateway, which helps connect different parts of our network. We also use Internet Gateways, NAT Gateways, and Route Tables to ensure our applications run smoothly on AWS. While most people use these basics, some specialized tools, like Transit Gateway, are useful for specific needs."
"The product can be used to isolate environments."
"The tool must provide proper guidelines to troubleshoot connectivity issues."
"The documentation for this solution could be improved. For example, it is difficult to find documentation for integration with applications."
"The product's setup is complex for an intermediate user."
"Its stability and scalability need improvement."
"The solution's configuration process could be better."
"The product's technical support needs to be better."
"It should work for the cloud, cloud monitoring features, and DevOps processes. It should automatically enable features for downscaling and upscaling."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It is a bit difficult to find things because you don't have a single pane of glass or dashboard for every resource."
"The solution could have tighter security for traffic."
"There are some differences in the route tables between public and private subnets, which is something that is not properly documented."
"The solution could improve its price."
"While creating a VPC, you can create a private and public subnet. If you forget to automatically assign a public IP address when creating an EC2 instance, the instance will not be able to access the internet. You can enable automatic public IP assignment for your public subnet to avoid this. This is something one always forgets while creating a VPC in infrastructure."
"Billing and technical support should be better. There is a steep learning curve as well."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The performance insights and VPC flow logs should be in the form of GUI or dashboards. The solution needs to work on integration with the transit gateway and multiple accounts."
