We performed a comparison between Amazon Virtual Private Cloud and AWS Lambda 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."It is very simple to define a network, connect subnets, and set up routing"
"It is very easy to provision a VPC and build your network."
"The product can be used to isolate environments."
"Compared to that of on-premises solutions, the performance of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud is much better."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Amazon Virtual Private Cloud administers an entire infrastructure in the cloud. Its ability to create subnets has been helpful for our resource deployment."
"One person with capable knowledge can implement the solution."
"The product’s firewall is very good."
"You can spin up anything instantly without any investment."
"The solution runs on the latest cloud technology so it is easy to deploy cloud-native projects."
"I like the pay-for-what-you-use feature. This is the main reason why we use AWS Lambda. I don't have to manage servers; I just have to configure Lambda and expose it to an API gateway."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is serverless and scalable. It can scale infinitely. You don't have to worry about the size of the servers that you're pre-allocating. You don't have to build server scale-out models. Auto scale and other similar features are just inherent in Lambda. So, for atomic and fairly non-persistent transactional units of work, Lambda works very well."
"Provides a good, easy path from when you're using an AWS cluster."
"The ease and speed of developing the services using any available language is the most valuable feature."
"Because AWS Lambda is serverless, server configuration is not required, and we can run it directly anywhere."
"They could improve the platform's ability to establish VPN connections to interact with resources outside the network."
"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."
"VPC itself is pretty good, but understanding it well is key. One of the challenges for beginners is understanding IP address ranges and subnet concepts."
"There could be better documentation for specific services."
"One concern is the cost, which can be relatively high compared to other cloud providers like Azure and Google Cloud."
"The solution needs to add step-by-step tutorials for its services."
"I recently worked on Transit Gateway, which connects multiple VPCs in one account and enables communication between them. However, I found the documentation unclear, possibly because few people encounter this situation. I figured it out and implemented it, but it required some research. Most people prefer using infrastructure as code rather than the UI for AWS tasks. However, the documentation may not always be up to date."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I would like to see more integration with other platforms."
"We need to better understand Lambda for different scenarios. We need some joint effort between Amazon and the users to have the users identify how they can really leverage Lambda. It's not about Lambda itself; it's about the practice, the guidance. There needs to be very good documentation. From the user perspective, what exists now is not always enough."
"I would like to see some better integration with other providers, like Cohesity, Druva, and others. I also think the Lambda interface could be better."
"Lambda's dashboard could be more user-friendly and customizable. I want the dashboard to have more information to quickly identify what functions and events are running. Also, we want to be able to add more trigger points, push notifications, and events."
"Security needs to be improved."
"I would like the layers to have a bigger volume. I would like to be able to add more. I don't want to be limited by the layer."
"Lambda would benefit from a debugging feature as well."
"I wish to see better execution time in the next release."
