AWS OpsWorks - Great Platform for Dev and Testing environments

I have used this service for quite sometime now & i can honestly say that it has been very reliable throughout my experience with them! They are always willing/able to help you out regardless if your issue requires an immediate response or not - they try their best just like any other customer support would do. Not really anything specific but overall great product from AWS!! If anyone looking into using one then use ops works as well because its awesome in every way possible. The only con was price (not much) however everything else about aws services were outstanding so no complaints there at all :) Support during installation process will also be helpful since most people don't know what certain processes mean exactly when setting up these packages etc.. The ability to have multiple environments running at once, with as many different stacks for as many projects as you need. I dislike that it's so expensive compared to other options. They say it's $600/mo per node but it really adds up fast. You can do all your dev and testing in one place and not have to worry about doing it yourself. If you're like me, you don't want to spend time managing servers and networks. This makes life easier than having to manage those things separately.

Pros
  • The ability to use AWS services with no need of having a different service for managing your servers
Cons
  • Not much if you're looking at other services like aws, but in my experience it was expensive for the service and the ability to have the service
