7 compelling reasons why you should choose AWS for your cloud hosting services

There are only three big players in the space of virtual infrastructure — Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Then there are few other notable players — Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr and DreamHost.
However, there are 7 great reasons why AWS scores over the rest of the pack.
1.Breadth
Services provided by AWS are undoubtedly the best. Standard VPS offering (EC2), databases (RDS, DynamoDB), CDN (CloudFront), the list is very long.
AWS offer services like EC2, Lambda, AWS IoT that other competitors don’t offer.
2.Depth
AWS offer IAM which allows user to easily create various levels of rights. Read-only access may be required for some users who need to pull media from S3 socket. Some user may not need to login. IAM allows you to do all this.
3.Fast transfer speeds between components
In case of other hosting providers, fetching can take a few seconds upto 30 seconds. Whereas, in case of EC2, by virtue of being the same data centre, users are able to fetch in less than a second
4.Performance
Many data centres of Amazon reside on every continent. This results in a super easy deployment if multiple zones are involved.
5.Pay per use
On AWS you end up paying only for what you use. Whether it is large traffic or small chunks of traffic, you always pay the right price.
6.Netflix does it. So can we!
Netflix is hosted on AWS, while both compete in streaming industry.
7.Sound cool with AWS jargon
“My ELB caused me problems connecting to EC2 because of some Route53 issue.” Join the elite crew.
Conclusion
So when you have to decide next time on Cloud hosting services, the easiest way to save yourself from all the confusion is that you go ahead with AWS.
