### Pros

"When I shift to ec2, it had many features like security groups, auto scaling and load balancer which made my application highly available and it was cost effective."

"The thing I liked about EC2 is I can get any operating system image to run my projects."

"It helps me manage and host my web servers."

### Cons

"You can't natively see the available size of an EBS volume attached to your instance"

"the one thing that i like the least about EC2 is that machine you get with free trial is very basic and slow so if you need a free trail and you want to test your script od piece of software that is a bit more resources consuming you may not be able to use it"

"Occasionally, I will have to stop/start an instance because the underlying host has an issue."
