I would rate the scalability of this solution a five, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.
The most scalable AWS product is the Lambda function.
If we were to rate the scalability of AWS products and if Lambda were the most scalable and manageable service, EC2 would come in third or fourth place, based on my experience.
Amazon EC2 is a scalable solution. Scalability is the main objective of my company, which is why it went with Amazon EC2. The solution lets you expand your resources, and you can either scale up or scale down your users without any issues.
View full review »The scalability is good whether you scale horizontally or vertically. A couple of clients scale out horizontally and the load balances help with that.

Scaling is not a problem because they themselves give you Amazon auto-scaling features. Very few users know how to use it properly. Our VM and images should be properly packaged and then you have to configure it. The load boxes have to be configured, you need to do some configuration, then you can basically vertically scale by choosing a server with a larger memory footprint, or you can go for horizontal scaling by adding more configuration into it. It's scaling over the box.

Amazon EC2 is highly scalable. But one thing I found that may be an issue is moving from one instance type to another. Because I found that you can't just switch instances. It seems you're limited to a certain category depending on the one you initially started with. But I'm not a hundred percent sure because I've only found that issue on one server and I know we've switched instance types before. Maybe just with that particular server I can't switch out of the categories of instances. I have to remain on the I's and I can't go to the M's or the C's or anything like that. I don't know if it's specific to that instance, though.
I don't know how many users are on it in total. I'd say less than 10. Most of them do data integration and team reporting, sometimes IT administration, and security, which is my team.
The solution scales quite well, and it is easy to expand.
It's very easy to add to what is already there. You just have to add memory and storage and restart the instance.
We have more than 100 people using the solution.
While we do not have plans to increase usage at this time, we may do so in a year.

The scalability of Amazon EC2 is good.
Our client was a large company with approximately 1,000 using the solution.
View full review »This solution is easy to scale, but it is not easy to change the generation or the instance title. If you are in the same generation it's fine, but upgrading older generations to new generations is painful.
We have more than 80 users in our company. Most of the users are using it daily. The Dev tech team uses it daily.

EC2 is scalable. There is an auto-scale setting in the configuration.
View full review »Amazon EC2 has plenty of scalability options to decrease or increase the number we need. Based on our bandwidth usage we may go for a higher or downgrade level. We can do it ourselves.
Our applications are running on Amazon EC2 instances only, we have approximately 15,000 that can use on a daily basis.
We have been receiving a lot of customer sign-ups. There are user licenses with the application, based on users' usage count we may increase or decrease the server instances types if needed.
