Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Reviews

It is used to run applications.

There is room for improvement in the pricing model. 

I have been using this solution for five to ten years now. 

It is a stable solution. 

It is a scalable solution. It is extensively used in our organization. We have over 5,000 users in our organization. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It was pretty quick to deploy the solution. 

The deployment was done in-house. It took only 20 minutes to deploy the solution. We have a CloudFormation template, and we deploy using that.

The pricing model is usage-based. 

I would definitely recommend using the solution. Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten. It is easy to use. 

I use the solution for development, production, and testing.

The product is flexible. We can get whatever we want in a minute.

Automation is very hard.

I have been using the solution for two years. I am using the latest version of the solution.

The stability is very good.

The tool’s scalability is great. Around 20 to 30 users are using the solution in our organization. It is an enterprise solution.

Previously, we used an on-premise solution.

The initial setup was okay. The documentation was great. The time taken for deployment depends on whether we want automation. If we want automation, the whole process can take a couple of weeks to set up all the automation.

We deployed the product ourselves. The deployment process is very well documented in Amazon.

The ROI is good.

The product is quite expensive. We pay for the license yearly.

I would recommend using the product and automating everything from the beginning. Overall, I rate the solution an eight or nine out of ten. We seek support from solution architects for design.

I use the product for its availability and scalability features.

The solution is highly scalable. If one of the instances has some issue and the server is terminated, or if the production is running on a server and it gets shut down, we would not have any backup plan. We will have to recreate another server and run production. The product helps us by creating another server automatically within a minimum amount of time. This process decreases the impact on production and downtime. The product fulfills all my requirements.

The existing instance should not be terminated during scale in and scale out. The product does not explain why a particular instance is terminated. There is no option to check the log either.

I have been using the solution for two years.

We have not found any bug in the solution in the last two years.

The product is stable. Around 100 people use the product in our organization.

We can easily deploy the product if we have the documentation. The document is good enough.

The product is cheap.

The solution is cloud-based. If one of our CPUs or memory has an issue or is being utilized more than usual, another instance scales up automatically. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

We use Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for production nodes to manage varying loads during peak business hours. It provides the flexibility of auto-scaling infrastructure when there is high traffic.

The product’s most valuable feature is the seamless resizing of web connection.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling’s filtering features need improvement. The support to manage the processes could be better. Whenever the product stops working, we have to change the settings and require to find the root cause of the issues. These instance logs should be managed by AWS itself.

We have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for seven years.

The product is stable.

We have 1000 Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling users. The platform’s scalability features are flexible. We have recently added a few more nodes, and it was easy to change those configurations. It saves costs and time for us.

My recent experience with technical support is pleasant. They are thorough and quick to contact and coordinate with different teams to resolve the root cause.

We use OpenStack, InfraCloud, and other cloud vendors.

The initial setup process is straightforward. AWS has a user-friendly UI; we also have information and guidance available on their platform. The initial migration process from on-premises to on-cloud takes time.

The deployment process requires having specific knowledge about the application, including its limitations, dependency analysis, and a backup plan. It is preferable to run it in a lower environment and then do actual deployment. If you have a proper plan, it is easy.

The implementation can be in-house. But depending on the team size and management’s decision, we take help from third-party vendors.

We can reduce our infrastructure cost drastically using the product. We have received a good ROI.

The product is expensive. There are no licensing fees, but we have to pay for resources.

I rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling a seven out of ten.

I advise others to plan carefully. The major challenge is to understand performance and load requirements. You can decide the minimum capacity to be optimized and not over-provision it. Additionally, you can run it in a lower environment before going into production. You can figure out the parameters using CloudOps metrics.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling helps maintain application availability and allows you to add or remove EC2 instances.

More than one instance can run at one time. You can start and stop instances at any time.

It can run with any application. Linux, as an example, can be installed with it.

Once the EC2 has been created, you can easily log into it.

The Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling features are simple to use.

The performance is excellent. It's very easy to use and manage.

We have no issues with the integration of Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling.

The user data can be initialized during the startup, which is an excellent feature.

The AMI (Amazon Machine Image) is a helpful feature for the installation process.

I would like to see a feature included that has the capability to clone when an instance is being terminated.

We have a few instances with the internal firewall. If for example, I am going to run Linux, and the firewall is open, sometimes it becomes difficult to debug the issue. Also, when you connect from another device, and if the internal IP address table is not deleted, the firewall will be enabled there. 

There is no clear understanding of where the issue is. If you connect externally, you have to install SFTP.

I would like debugging capabilities included.

I have been using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for more than two years.

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling is a stable solution.

This solution is used by 1,000 people in our organization.

Technical support is good.

Previously, I had not used another solution. I started with AWS.

The installation was fine. We were able to install it with the assistance of AMI.

The installation took less than 10 minutes, but it depends on what you want to install.

This solution is managed by a team of ten administrators.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

It is my opinion that serverless, such as Lambda, are preferred over EC2 instances.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I would rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling a nine out of ten.

The tool serves several purposes. It helps to pass instances automatically. We can perform maintenance on instances and application upgrades.

The solution incorporates ease of maintenance and reduction in operational overhead and costs. Patching is also easy. 

The most valuable feature is the tool's ability to integrate with load balancers. 

The launch configuration feature doesn't work properly. It needs to improve the load configuration feature along with launch templates. The tool needs to tag feature as well. 

I have been working with the solution since 2016. 

I rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling's stability a ten out of ten. 

I rate the tool's scalability an eight-point five out of ten. 

I rate Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling's pricing a seven out of ten. 

I rate the product an eight out of ten. 

We use this solution to scale up the number of VM's that are running during times of heavy traffic or high workload. It covers 5,000 servers over 10 different environments for us.

We appreciate that this solution allows us to run all of our severs through it, meaning that our workloads are mainly on the EC2 instance only.

We would like to see improvement in the UI for this solution, so that it is more user-friendly.

We have been using this solution for around six years.

We have found this to be a stable solution during our time using it.

The scalability of this solution is good; we increase our usage gradually and consistently, without any issues.

The setup of this solution is very straightforward. It took us two months to deploy it fully, and migrate our workloads to the cloud from being on premises.

The licences for this solution are based on the number of instances. This determines the EC2 type that is used and this is then priced accordingly.

We would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.

I use the solution in my personal time. I like to play with it and learn a bit of software.

The solution is very easy to use, and its APIs are also very good.

The product's great, but the pricing could be improved.

I've been working with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling for a few years.

I rate EC2's stability a ten out of ten.

The workspace is something EC2 has embedded, so it's quite good. They have different options to work with it. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten. I'm the only one using the solution.`

EC2 takes a few minutes to deploy. We have more than one option while deploying the solution. We can use the GUI or the command line, making it possible to use the solution's APIs.

The solution can be implemented in-house with the proper knowledge.

You need some contracts to get support for EC2.

EC2 is a good place to start if you have some good ideas for a business because you can avoid upfront expenses. I believe you can do the same things with Amazon as with Google, Microsoft, or many other companies.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten because you must still learn how to use it first.
