What do you like best about the product?
Like most of the EC2 instances, the Amazon Linux AMI is just another type. I usually launch the Ubuntu instances, but this is another option for those would prefer something different.

No real dislikes. The only inconvenience is if I'm used to using a certain instance type with a specific OS, moving to something else could involve a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Launching a new instance and deploying software on the cloud.

What do you like best about the product?
Using Amazon Linux AMI we can easily deploy Linux servers and virtual machines just by selecting the AMI as it will be predefined with certain softwares. Compared to other cloud platforms, Amazon has wide range of AMIs
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike about it, thing is we need know basic Linux commands to operate in it, as it is not a GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping us to easily deploy web servers within few minutes, we have created our custom Linux AMI for this purpose so it helps in maintaining and balancing the web traffic.

AMAZON LINUX AMI

  • July 05, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to be able to analyze and manage user data; you can generate keys for hosts being configured; the feature to add public keys to facilitate logins for administration has a part of preparing repositories which allows me to manage packages better; the integration with Amazon Elastic and Amazon EC2.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many protocols for package installation and too many runtimes for my taste, the only supported method to connect to instances is SSH. I wish were more methods; I would like more security updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to transmit configuration actions integrating it with Amazon EC2; it is also a viable option when it comes to data analysis since it has excellent security encryption, the fact that it is based on Linux allows us to program better in PHP, it is helpful to improve user security.
