Preconfigured containers have cut licensing costs and now save our team time with faster booting
ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology. It should use the new generation instances, and it should also modernize the storage and the file systems that it is using because those are very old and sometimes problematic. It should also improve or add advanced configurations to the things that we are doing so it can help us and give us more efficiency and productivity in our team. It should give us good analysis, particularly more detailed analysis, with the AWS tools because it is operated by AWS. It is cloud-based, and we are getting it from AWS, so they should also integrate it with AWS better.

Accurate coordinates have powered faster weather data integration for remote store locations
If Geocoder.ca had a direct connection with weather stations, that would be very useful. Rather than just giving me coordinates, immediately providing me with weather data would be a helpful improvement. Other than that, it does the job quite accurately. Adding more features than just plain coordinates would be beneficial, such as weather or other features that would make Geocoder.ca a ten for me.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ECS-Optimized Windows has positively impacted my organization because I have been using it for proof of concepts and it increases the speed of running them because I do not have to worry about creating my own image."
"After deploying our Windows workloads using ECS-Optimized Windows on AWS, we saw improved reliability and measurable operational efficiencies."
"Our teams can scale at least 40% faster than before, accounting for waiting for it to boot and load everything."
"Geocoder.ca does the job that it is supposed to do and does it quickly, efficiently, and more importantly, accurately."
"When I compare other tools, I was using some applications for the same use case that took around thirty minutes to one hour to fetch the latitude and longitude for the particular region, now by using Geocoder.ca, I am able to get all the latitude and longitude for the region within five to ten minutes, showing a difference of twenty-five to thirty minutes, and the productivity has increased to the point where the deadline of the project gets reduced by one to two weeks."
 

Cons

"Improvements for ECS-Optimized Windows could include faster Windows patch cycles, a lighter AMI footprint for quicker boot times, better visibility into container-level performance metrics, and improved cost optimization guidance."
"One problem with ECS-Optimized Windows is that the image size is quite large."
"ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology."
"If Geocoder.ca could provide a free API for the current limitations, it could be helpful for those who have not purchased the product."
"If Geocoder.ca had a direct connection with weather stations, that would be very useful."
