Allows for automatic scaling of resources and provides built-in firewalls and security features, eliminating the need for external security solutions

Pros

"There's something called EC2, which are application servers. They are automatically scalable. They can increase, for example, during peak times."

Cons

"One thing that's a bit different is that we're still accustomed to speaking to someone directly. AWS doesn't offer that kind of support. It's only through bots. "
