   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   👍 Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• Your consciousness is sent back to when you were at age 15, and you maintain all of your current knowledge and experience. What do you do?

  I beg to differ, 1998 was the year when renting $100 to $200 servers became available. Rackshack was the first to do it, they provided low cost colocated servers. They then became called EV1Servers and then the Planet which then became SoftLayer and now softlayer.com just goes to ibm.com cloud. Source: almost 4 years ago
