Anyone using Amazon Web Services?

I would love to hear about how AWS is enabling your research, studies or anything that is of interest for you.

Can you give me some insight as to what your own experience is with AWS?

The best part I love about them is that they are customer-centric.

I have used both AWS and Microsoft Azure. I love the way AWS allows you to configure and set it up and run within a few hours. Microsoft Azure platform is limited and is a bit difficult to set it up. Both are relatively easy as long as you have a credit card to start.I used Linux on AWS and Windows Server on Azure. You can do Windows in AWS as well.

Used both AWS and Google Cloud Platform for hosting websites under a virtual instance.

Found both services pretty similar just the Google Cloud Platform's interface is a lot easier to use. But with AWS you can spin up instances in Sydney.

At the moment only using AWS - Route 53 as a DNS service which is dope. Everything else i enjoy Google Cloud Platform purly for user experience.
