There is a large list of products that are available in the cloud, from computing to mail hosting and server services that are available in the AWS cloud.
They provide you with computing resources and IT services.

They provide you with computing resources and IT services.
In terms of features, I would rate it a nine.
This is a product that is easy to use and highly available. The availability is good, you can get any service you need immediately.
I have been using Amazon AWS for five or six years.
It's very stable.
It's a very scalable product. We have 200 users in our organization who are using AWS.
They provide support at different levels.
Previously, we did not use another solution.
We use our own server in the cloud or we use AWS.
It is in the cloud, there is no installation.
Pricing, I would rate a five out of ten. AWS is very expensive.
It's paid on a monthly basis and you have to pay for the resources that you use.
There is no licensing in AWS, you pay per usage.
We have reduced usability to a few situations because we have our own hosting cloud server.
I would not recommend this solution, I would recommend something from the competitors.
I would rate Amazon AWS a seven out of ten.
The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect for us at this point.
You can manage everything from the console, which is very convenient.
The high level of technology of the database services being served to the customers is impressive.
The security is excellent. We feel very protected by the solution.
The solution is very easy to set up.
The product is highly scalable.
There is very good documentation available to users for troubleshooting, et cetera.
From a technology standpoint, the solution is almost perfect. We don't feel that anything is lacking in that sense.
The feedback we are getting from our customers, especially here in Turkey where the exchange rate fluctuates regularly, is that the solution is quite expensive. Other cloud competitors are less costly. From our country's point of view, I would say that it needs to be cheaper.
When the solution faces downtime, it can be for hours or half a day. This is far too long.
I would say that I started using AWS around 2017.
The solution is stable. That said, there are some instances that some of the services in some of the regions might go down. The downtime sometimes will last longer than you expected. We expect that occasionally the downtime maybe a few minutes or half an hour. That's not always the case. Sometimes it can be hours. Sometimes it can even be half a day. For us, the downtime is a problem.
The solution is highly scalable. You can create thousands of servers in minutes or something like that, so it's very scalable. If a company needs to expand, it can do so with ease using this solution.
The types of businesses we typically deal with are rather small.
I haven't used technical support. I haven't yet had a need to. Therefore, I can't discuss anything in regards to their helpfulness or knowledgeability. That speaks to how good their product has been overall.
That said, if you run into problems, most of the issues that you are having in terms of technical difficulties can be solved within the documentation.
The solution is very easy to install. If you start short-term with the database services, and if you then get the Web Services, it's very easy. A company shouldn't have any trouble setting everything up. It's not complex.
I tend to manage the solution for my clients once it is installed.
Due to currency fluctuations in Turkey, we find the product to be on the more expensive side. There are other, cheaper options on the market.
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.
4 years.
(1) Self-service without upfront cost
(2) Pay as you go & continual cost/price reduction
(3) Pervasive service offerings with continual improvement
We were developing a sync-and-share cloud service + mobile/desktop application for multimedia products at that time (2009). It saved lots of development & testing efforts compared to traditional IT process. As you know, multimedia files take tons of storage space, IaaS's pay as you go and no upfront cost was a major deciding factor to develop that project/product.
(1) ELB stress testing is problematic for us at that time.
(2) Better technical support for those without paying AWS Premium Support.
I have the vague impression that we did run into some issues, but I don't remember the context.
3.5 out of 5.
3.5 out of 5. We didn't purchase/subscribe AWS Premium Support at that time, so we got very limited technical support from AWS forum, and AWS technical staff in Singapore. As AWS's expanded into different geographic regions with local team support, expect it should be better now.
Relatively straightforward, but would be more complex when taking security into consideration.
In-house.
Different projects have different business goals and requirements (business & technical). We evaluated different vendors' service offerings for different projects/products. For instance, the aforementioned multimedia sync-and-share project was built on top of AWS. We also built a device firmware update service and a connection management service on top of AWS. However, for another online video editing, social-driven free cloud service, we built it on top of GAE instead.
As mentioned in previous answer, different projects have different functional and non-functional requirements. All perspectives from operation, management, and development should be evaluated for cloud service platforms.

Over the last couple of years, the popularity of the “cloud computing” has grown dramatically and along with it so has the dominance of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the market. Unfortunately, AWS doesn’t do a great job of explaining exactly what AWS is, how its pieces work together, or what typical use cases for its components may be. This post is an effort to address this by providing a whip around overview of the key AWS components and how they can be effectively used.
Great, so what is AWS? Generally speaking, Amazon Web Services is a loosely coupled collection of “cloud” infrastructure services that allows customers to “rent” computing resources. What this means is that using AWS, you as the client are able to flexibly provision various computing resources on a “pay as you go” pricing model. Expecting a huge traffic spike? AWS has you covered. Need to flexibly store between 1 GB or 100 GB of photos? AWS has you covered. Additionally, each of the components that makes up AWS is generally loosely coupled meaning that they can work independently or in concert with other AWS resources.
Our primary use case is for cloud storage.
There is less work for the DBAs. Everything is handled in AWS itself.
We don't have issues with stability or scalability.
We manage support issues, we don't depend on others for technical support.
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.
