Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services -- now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. Using AWS, businesses can take advantage of Amazon's expertise and economies of scale to access resources when their business needs them, delivering results faster and at a lower cost.
Â
Today, Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. With data center locations in the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and Japan, customers across all industries are taking advantage of our low cost, elastic, open and flexible, secure platform.
we are backing up our servers to amazon simple storage service and it is far better than good cloud storage and azure. all three costs similar price and cutting down to match others which gives customers cheaper solution. S3 is is very faster and most of the time it is faster than transferring in networks.

I am using amazon simple storage solution for all my server backups. it is very fast and reliable. Uploading daily incremental backups and mail archives with cloudberry, s3 browser and dragon disk and backing up our webserver to s3 directly and it never been so easy. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try cloud server backup solution.

AWS EC2 is very intuitive and easy way to get a VM up and running within seconds. Great documentation and examples as well. But the whole interface suck when it comes to designing. i want something simple than too many information in a single page. but apart form that, it is really a great server solution. i have around 5 backup servers waiting to fire-up as a backup and i dont have to pay anything until i start using it which is awesome #spiceworks

I am using Amazon EC2 for 3 years. We are able to leverage AWS EC2 in our development and integration life cycles to minimize the cost of equipment and employees, because we don't have to manage the physical hardware.Even though the prices are set up for enterprise they do seem high for small to mid level businesses, compared to other alternatives. One thing that needs to be improved is IAM users and roles configurations which are complex to configure and understand #spiceworks

EC2 is massively scalable, which allows you to pay for only what you actually use. We are using it as backup servers as a prt of DR strategy. As part of AWS, EC2 is one in a plethora of sometimes overlapping resource solutions. The ever changing nature of AWS means an operator must be constantly focused on the AWS platform to keep up with changes. The best thing is, it is quick to deploy servers with minimum effort.I have built web/android applications that use EC2 as backend and provide great support. All-inall a great service from amazon. #spiceworks

one of the easiest cloud solution to start with and implement. With APIs, you can literally do anything program-wise but the problem is you need to get past the awe-full interface. there is a learning curve but it could been avoided if they design the interface a bit better. But once you past that, it is very easy to use and depoly VMs. #spiceworks
