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.

Centralized cloud views have improved visibility and simplify tracking of connected resources
I think the dashboard could be a little more user-friendly, especially for people who are using the platform for the first time. Sometimes, finding specific information in a large cloud setup can take extra time. It would also be good to have more customization options for dashboards and reports. In the next release, I would like to see better cost alerts, more detailed usage reports, and easier ways to identify unused resources. These improvements would make Hyperglance more convenient for daily use and help teams manage cloud resources more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our teams can scale at least 40% faster than before, accounting for waiting for it to boot and load everything."
"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."
"It significantly cut down our onboarding time for new client accounts, and it helped us catch idle resources that were running up client costs unnecessarily, making our FinOps reporting much more accurate."
"The visual diagrams are especially helpful when troubleshooting issues because I can quickly understand how different services are connected without checking each resource manually."
"Being able to see how everything connects and spot potential security issues or wasted spending can save time."
"The visual mapping of cloud resources is one of the most useful features for me because it makes the overall infrastructure easier to understand."
 

Cons

"One problem with ECS-Optimized Windows is that the image size is quite large."
"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."
"ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology."
"I would like to see more detailed filtering options for large AWS environments, especially when searching for specific EC2 instances, security groups, or network dependencies."
"It can be on the higher side for smaller teams, and it can sometimes overlap with existing tech stack, so be mindful of those things when evaluating budget."
"The UI can still feel a bit cluttered and sluggish when client accounts approach the resource limit, so better default filtering out of the box would help."
"I think the dashboard could be a little more user-friendly, especially for people who are using the platform for the first time."
