   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

• Scheduled spindown/up of clusters?

• Reducing AWS costs?

  If you're using Kubernetes, CAST AI is the fastest way to significantly reduce your compute bill and keep it there. It manages compute capacity automatically and has dedicated support to get you started even faster. The best part - Kubernetes cost monitoring and security insights are free. Source: over 1 year ago
