As of now, our company does not need to leverage Amazon AWS for Amazon Big Data Analytics or Amazon Machine Learning. In the future, Amazon AWS can be used to leverage the benefits of Amazon Big Data Analytics or Amazon Machine Learning. Presently, my company plans to stick with the microservices model. There is no need to maintain the product from our company's end since Amazon AWS takes care of the maintenance of the services the tool covers. For cost saving, shut down instances when not in use and use spot instances while implementing step scaling policies. Doing regular audits, you will get to know what resources in your environment are leading to cost consumption. AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure does not directly impact our company's application performance and availability. My company just consumes the services covered under Amazon AWS, after which we plan our application architecture. The impact is felt if Amazon removes support for some of its global products, as it may impact some legacy applications, but my company does not face many issues since we mostly upgrade such applications. I rate the overall tool a seven or eight out of ten.

I would recommend it as I believe the market is shifting towards a hybrid model. For optimal usability and enhanced availability, cloud solutions are preferable where applicable. Conversely, for in-house operations and specific requirements, AWS solutions can be leveraged effectively for cloud transitions when deemed suitable. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

The amount of people for the maintenance of the solution depends on the engagement we have with our customers. Some of our customers are sophisticated with modern infrastructure and can handle most of the maintenance themself. The engineering team responsible for development also handles maintenance, upgrades, and support without any differentiation. However, some customers still follow an older mindset, where a separate ops team is responsible for platform maintenance and operations. One approach is to have a centralized model where a team of 20-30 members manages all the applications, including operations and maintenance. Alternatively, a distributed model may be used, where four or five different teams manage different aspects. However, on average, the team size for the entire IT organization is typically around 20-30 people. I strongly recommend this solution to others. I rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten. I gave my rating of eight because the price of the feature is more expensive than the competitors.

I rate AWS eight out of 10. It's well designed and well documented. Overall, AWS is a good public cloud platform. Before signing up for AWS, it's probably a good idea to think about pricing because some of their services can be obtained elsewhere for a better price.

I'm a customer and an end-user. We use various deployments, including on-premises, public, private, and hybrid clouds. The deployment is dependent on the customer, the solution, and the service level agreements that we have. We use all of those models. We make our choice based on the requirement. I'd advise potential new users to actually do a shootout between the different products based on your use case and choose the right one. I would rate the solution seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher, however, the UI needs improvement first.

It boils down to two points. The first point would be to have correct planning. You need to know what you want to do and you need to be familiar with what you can do in AWS. The second very important point is that you need very stable and very good monitoring of your AWS instances. This is mandatory because if you fire up a very expensive environment and forget it over weeks, you need to pay for that. I've seen a lot of companies struggling to get an overview of all these AWS machines. It starts by tagging and so on. I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I am a partner and reseller. I would advise them, before they use the account before they open an account with Amazon, to do their account around just to learn a bit about that solution and then start using it, because it will take a long time to understand how that platform works, how you're going to create a VM on there, how you can create an SMTP. It is not a simple procedure that we point to and then follows some steps to complete. You must be familiar with information technology. You must have at least basic IT knowledge of a hosting site. This is a platform, and before they begin using it, they must check a number of things and understand how they will proceed. I would rate Amazon AWS a seven out of ten.

My job role is as a Cloud Security Architect. I prepare solutions and I sell them to the customers. My work primarily involves working on identity systems. I primarily work on the identity federation side. You have identities and disparate sources, and we prefer to have a single identity source using federations and then we prepare solutions around it and sell them to our customers. Those kinds of solutions are the ones I work in. My advice for first-time users is, if you wish to migrate your private data center to a private cloud where you have servers like VPN servers, radio servers, you have servers for your own applications, whether it's Windows, Linux, Unix, or ADFS, it's better to go for an AWS cloud. However, if you are looking for identity Federation or identity provisioning, then you need to go for a Microsoft Cloud. I'll rate AWS at a seven out of ten due to the fact that it's very secure. It has very good migration categories for the on-premises servers and applications to the AWS private cloud. I can't rate it ten out of ten due to the lack of IdAM features I've seen, and AWS has less of a user base as it's not very user-friendly. This is where Azure scores a lot higher for me. It's very user-friendly and it's feature-rich, actually. If AWS can develop a more feature-rich offering, it will be on par with Azure.

I've also used the server I built via Amazon AWS for our Android applications, and found the reliability and the stability of that server to really good. I can use it again next time when I'm into development. The server's always good. I had four customers on Amazon AWS. Those customers were architects working in technology and IT companies. I also created a server for our taxi application client as one of my projects. I have a local user. I had three to four people for deployment and maintenance. Some were nontechnical, while some were technical, with an IT background. Because I was on the free trial version of Amazon AWS, I didn't get to use their technical support. I used the free trial of Amazon AWS for my clients. I used it during the testing period. I developed applications for clients, then recommended AWS servers to them for the applications. I highly recommend this platform to others who are considering using it, because its stability is good. We have different requirements vs other users, so I'm not in a position to recommend features, especially because I have not used all the features of Amazon AWS. I can't say that this feature is good, or that feature is bad. I can't say which features to add to the next release. I'm rating Amazon AWS a nine out of ten and this is both from an integrator and customer perspective.

I rate AWS seven out of 10. My advice is to watch out for the cost. A public cloud means you can use any resource, and there is no upfront cost. That means someone can use an expensive computing solution that might cost them tons of money. No one is holding your hand, so you can use it, but you need to be conscious of the cost before using the solution.

I guess I would rate Amazon AWS eight out of 10. AWS works as advertised, but they're expensive if you don't know what you're doing. I'm not sure if I can knock them for not being transparent about pricing. Cloud costs are challenging. There's an entire industry popping up for managing cloud costs with consultants who can tell you how to get the most out of your AWS allocation. I don't have a lot of advice. If you're planning to implement a cloud solution, just pick one. I mean, if you're a Microsoft shop, it probably makes more sense to go Azure. If you're not, then I would recommend AWS. It depends on what you're looking to get out of it. There are references, architectures, case studies, and a million other things that would off better advice on whether to go with AWS or not. But if you're looking to go to the cloud, AWS is as good as everybody else. AWS is probably better than Azure and GCP, but that's a tricky thing to pin down. It depends on what your goals and requirements are. My best advice is to evaluate your goals before making a decision. I hope that people take what I say about AWS with a massive grain of salt because it's like asking an ant about an elephant. What's an ant going to know about an elephant? It's just too big for any one person to know.

I rate AWS a five out of ten, but it's mainly because I don't feel very experienced in AWS. I have gone to the console many times and seen many features that I have never used. I'm sure I can learn quickly, though, because there is a lot of information shared on the internet about how to use it—there are a lot of resources that you can use to learn, and there are a lot of features available on AWS. They're working very hard on their platform, and I can only see their usage growing in the future. I would certainly recommend AWS to others.

Amazon has a great customer base and lot of success stories. That is one advantage that AWS has, whereas the others are catching up. Recently they have more case studies, but for overall breadth of the industry and breadth of the customer experiences, AWS has more customers. AWS has more services than the other competitors. My advice to anyone thinking about using Amazon AWS is that they need to set up the foundation well, and they need to choose the right partner to do the implementation. The more experience the partner has, the better the implementation will be. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Amazon AWS an eight.

My advice would be to do some homework, read as much as you can about the setup before you dive in. If you take an hour to review the setup and then put together your own process so you know all the steps required and you use a checklist, it simplifies things. Have some kind of system, whether it's a spreadsheet or a Confluence page where you're documenting the steps and keeping track of where you're at. Whenever I'm asked to do something, I can find a tool on AWS that I can vet for our customers, and for that reason, I rate Amazon AWS 10 out of 10.

On a scale of one to ten I would rate Amazon AWS a nine. To bring that up a bit, as I mentioned, I would like to have a direct connection to the EC2 server console. That's why I'm just not giving a 10. For anyone interested in using Amazon AWS, I would advise them to read the online documentation. It's very clear and shows you step by step how to use the system. If you need more advanced features, you can find a lot of resources on the internet and on their website. So if you want to use a public cloud, I strongly advise using AWS.

We're a software development group building specialty LAN/WAN optimization solutions, so we don't use a lot of canned products per se. We do tend to sue reasonably new software versions of the OS...whatever is the latest LTS selections. If you already have your workload ready, that's helpful, as you can actually trial it under a free tier and then see what the cost is, and extrapolate what the ongoing cost is. In the end, that's what gets you. Being able to do some benchmark testing on how much it's going to cost for your particular workflow across the three public clouds is definitely something you probably want to do. Especially if you're going to scale, as, obviously, it can suddenly creep up to not just tens or hundreds of dollars a month, but thousands a month, depending upon what you're doing. I definitely would recommend doing some reference testing of your workflows before deciding on a solution. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. They're pretty solid. You've got all the services that you can imagine, and then some. There's a very broad breadth of products and services. We haven't had too many SLA issues for recovery or downtime. Maybe we've just been lucky or good so far...

The type of deployment of the solution depends on the need of the organization. There are some solutions that we deploy for the clients that we need in a more stable environment. In this case, we use the cloud. For testing purposes for internal projects, we use our own servers within the company. I think by the IP numbers, we can request to create a certain server and they created this for us. There are some clients that require a cloud-based solution, we have this capability but it is still in testing and it is not what we use our servers for. I would recommend this solution for companies like small companies just starting out. It would be really helpful for them. I rate Amazon AWS a nine out of ten.

Same as I am telling my clients, When you are using AWS cloud you should think of the 5 pillars which are called AWS Well-Architected framework, these are :-


1- security


2- performance


3- cost


4- Reliability


5- operational excellence


Each one of them it's a very long topic, but to make it simple it's like when you need to build a building if the base it's not solid, in the future for sure you will have an issue and maybe in the middle of construction you the building will fall, same as for the cloud when you are using the cloud, you need to know exactly which services you will use and architect these services very well, the idea of the cloud is Automation, and eliminate human interaction as much as you can, I have seen client doing a lot of manual work in the cloud because they didn't take the 5 pillars into their consideration, the cost if you don't know what you are doing you will end up paying a lot of money for things you don't even use. it's a long discussion but I tried to make simple

Cost is the main issue one needs to consider. Need a whole heuristic view of what you use the AWS for, mainly for the data reporting, storage, backup/restore, etc. 


Data storage, for example. How you will use your existing data (if you have 30 years of them) or do you need just 10% of them for your current daily business. Then, 90% of your data could be site in AWS Glacier to save the storage cost.

Make sure you understand the cost structure of AWS. If you are coming from a traditional environment you need to identify the actual operation cost and the future state in AWS. You will have an important change on the financial cost, the main concern is to be able to explain cost integration and support benefits in the long term.  


From a technical point of view, this is the way to go or you will not be able to keep your technology up to date and take advantage of IT evolution. You will need to develop a roadmap to migrate while learning along the way.

I would not select any specific public cloud provider without doing due diligence to what the customer specifically requires.


We work with the 3 primary cloud providers for our customers; AWS, Azure, and GCP.  A customer recently asked us to provide a comparison of AWS and Azure.


There's really not great differences between AWS and Azure but there are some.  The choice really needs to come down to the following criteria:


Region Availability, Sizing Availability (Depending on Application Requirements), Licensing costs, and finally the overall costs for services selected.


If your customer is a large Microsoft shop, getting the benefit of re-negotiating licensing costs by going to Azure can provide a very large benefit.


AWS is the Market Share leader but Azure is very close behind.  If Market Share is one of your primary selection criteria, then choose AWS.


Don't just pick one because you like them or your friend recommended them.  Get with a Cloud Partner and do the analysis for the customer's specific requirements.

For most of the customers looking for any public cloud service provider; as per my understandings, public cloud services should be acquired based on two basic going forward blocks/zero points/starting points to understand your needs.


1) The scale of business requirements and type.


2) Agility/Flexibility of existing IT infrastructure in-placed


For example, if you don't have any hardware/IT infrastructure in-placed and need to have a webserver for your new small business marketing website then instead of buying hardware/IT infrastructure it would be wise to get cloud services from any public cloud service provider or even you can get services from a web-hosting company that fits your budget; and then use it until you can afford it.

Then later on you can decide (based on business growth) to move further ahead to make your own IT setup or a Datacenter/IT infrastructure or even a private cloud. This example is lightning up the scale of requirement and type.

Another example, if you have a private cloud setup or IT infrastructure in place and need private cloud services to extend your business efficiency, flexibility, availability and simplicity. Then it would be a far cheaper and simple option if you choose that private cloud service provider who has the same manufacture public cloud connectors available from whom you setup your private could. This example is lightning up the Agility/Flexibility of existing IT infrastructure.

However, it is not wise in many cases and extremely expensive to put everything on a public cloud for small/medium business organizations.

I hope that it will help to get what you were asking for.

I rate AWS nine out of 10. Everything is moving to the cloud now, and AWS covers a lot of services, including computing, networking, storage, IoT, and management, and they are good in every way. They face competition from GCP and Azure, but Azure is entirely a Microsoft stack, so people will go with that when they're working with Microsoft solutions. It is a little cheaper than AWS. In the end, the cloud you choose depends on the use case. It's up to the customer.

This was deployed on the cloud. I don't remember which version because I didn't deploy it. I was not the person running the project of implementing AWS, but I know the client used it, but I don't know which version. It's not so difficult to use because there's a lot of tutorials. I'm not completely sure about the number of AWS users in our organization. We have a partnership with them so we have some accounts, but we don't completely have our load on AWS. We are mostly on Azure. Our main server is on Azure. On AWS, we mostly have some internal projects and services, but most of the main load is on Azure. We have a small workload on AWS. Sometimes we use it to deploy some of our best projects. We use it on some internal projects. It's a random thing so it could be 1,000 users or 50 users. I'll say approximately 200 to 500 users. We don't require too many people for deploying this solution because our projects are proof of concepts. Up to ten people from different departments would be needed for deployment if it's a business requirement e.g. people from Approvals and Projects, etc. As for increasing AWS usage, the organization sometimes thinks of moving some of the load to AWS because of good pricing, because currently, our main streams are on Azure, but it's not a sure thing. I'm unsure if there's any additional cost aside from the need to pay the license annually because I don't directly manage it. My advice to organizations looking into implementing AWS, especially if they're going to use it on a big scale, is to take advantage of AWS' organization model to make integration with their policies easier. It will also make administration easier for the different accounts, departments, and structure of the organizations thinking of moving to AWS. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Broadly speaking, there is a need to rely on specialists for properly setting up one's accounts and addressing his needs. This is not specific to Amazon, however, but is something prevalent with all providers. I have assumed the role of both customer and integrator. In the past, I worked as a project manager with different projects employing Amazon products, services and software. For the most part, the solutions I used have been public, not private, such as AWS cloud. The number of users of the solution varies with the individual project. This can range from 20 to 200 to 500 users. Our teams have undertaken every role, be them architecture, development, design or testing. They are all internally integrated. I am a fan of Amazon products and generally recommend them to others. Of course, we employ Azure and Google products when the customer specifically requests these. Since all products have room for improvement, even when this is not apparent to me, I rate Amazon AWS as a nine out of ten.

AWS is definitely best of breed. All three major cloud providers are very close though. 


So you really need to assess the features, costs, geographical availability, of each cloud provider and see which one suits your needs best. There are subtle differences in each so users should be aware. You should have a good DevOps leader who has the experience to evaluate your needs and suggest the best cloud provider. 


Best of luck.

For example, it is possible to have your monolithic application on the cloud and decompose it into your microservice architecture or use it with Lambda capabilities.

We are AWS partners. We're always using the latest version of the solution. As a cloud-based solution, it constantly updates itself to the latest version. I'd advise users considering the solution that they really need to understand the costs and how they work with AWS. At some point, it can get confusing and it can lead to companies dealing with hidden charges. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. If it wasn't for cost management, I would rate it higher.

We're integrators and service providers. We offer services to our clients. We use a private VPN for the solution. I'd recommend the solution to other organizations, so long as the company doesn't care about the pricing. I would rate the solution eight out of ten, simply due to the fact that the cost is high. They lose points there.

I'm a consultant. If the customer wants an AWS solution or AWS consultancy, I give these services to them. If they want some local provider, I also work with them. We are using the latest version of the solution. Most of my clients don't know the technology and don't want to get into deep technical knowledge in terms of the solution itself. They don't want to manage AWS. They just want to let someone manage their infrastructure and AWS services for them. There aren't too many large companies dealing with AWS on a massive scale in Turkey. I don't really deal with larger entities anyway. So long as an organization's focus is not on pricing, I would recommend the solution. In general, I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Overall, AWS is pretty good and I can definitely recommend it because it's a proven product. When you're solving big problems, you want — first and foremost — proven infrastructure, technology, tools, and mechanisms. Then slowly, you'll be able to remove dependencies by moving to others as needed. So for project initiation and everything, you get to rely on something which is rock solid and proven in the industry with a long track record. I know AWS can be an expensive option, but it doesn't have to be out of budget if you choose the appropriate level of product for your performance requirements. They can provide high-performance computing resources, while at the same time catering to the mid-level market with lower performance offerings. Previously, in the initial days of AWS, back in 2005/2006, there were some concerns about security and such things, but nowadays there is not much to worry about because a lot of those concerns have been taken care of. Recently, there has been another shift in attitude towards them, because not everybody is a big fan of public cloud because of what is happening in the world with respect to data privacy and everything. Regardless, the three big names of Microsoft, Google, and AWS are really grabbing the market, and IBM is also catching up well. Because of the data privacy concerns, however, I do see some customization in European countries who are interested in interacting with the cloud market at a more local level. I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten.

I'm just a consultant. I don't have a partnership with AWS or any other company. AWS is a key part of the whole microservice cloud computing. I would recommend the solution to other organizations. However, if I'm a multi-billion dollar retailer and I need to depend on something, how do I trust a company that can shut me down on a whim? That's a real problem. That moves AWS down and it moves Azure up just on my recommendation list. From a technology perspective, it's well-proven, it's extensive, it covers just about everything you want to do. That's what I talk about with clients mostly, is the technology side. While I used to rate the solution ten out of ten, the fact that Amazon can just kill a company on a whim makes me lower my rating. Currently, I'd rate it at an eight out of ten. It's great in almost every way. However, a company needs to understand that AWS can kill your company in a moment if it feels like it.

I feel that you shouldn't basically stick with any particular cloud provider. If you really want to take the benefits of a multi-cloud environment, you should not build your applications focused on any particular cloud provider. You should build something that is generic, and whenever required, you should be able to switch to any kind of cloud provider. People tend to actually focus on one particular cloud provider, and they start building their applications to cater to that provider. You shouldn't do that. You should reap the benefits of all cloud providers. This is what we also say to our clients. I would rate Amazon AWS an eight out of ten. It is really good as compared to the other cloud providers such as Google Cloud.

I would rate it a seven out of ten. In an RDS environment, we only get the CPU utilization and this thing. The growth rate and free space increases. Getting the CPU utilization is 99% or 90% sometimes. We don't know whether to increase server capacity or alert notifications. We don't know which hard disc to purchase or what the next recommended CPU is. There should be an indicator. We would like to have more guidance.

We're a startup company. It's a very small company with only 20 people. Everything we use is cloud-based. We're simply a customer of AWS. We don't have a special relationship with the company. I'd warn others considering using the solution that the environment is vast and complex, and a company will need a lot of tools at their disposal for research and to understand the product. If there are people within the organization who already have experience with the architecture or with similar solutions within the AWS environment, that will help make implementation successful. It's important to bring people who have previous AWS architecture experience into the organization. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. It does do everything we need it to do, however, as a small company, figuring it out is a big effort. Making it more streamlined or straightforward in the future would probably give it higher marks.

Look for what is required to deploy the apps in your particular organization. For example, if it's AI-driven then probably Google is a better cloud to go after. If there are a lot of Microsoft applications or if developers or the IT staff were trained in Microsoft software, then Microsoft Azure is a better fit. I would rate AWS an eight out of 10 because it helps companies get started fast.
