We performed a comparison between Amazon Virtual Private Cloud and AWS Lambda based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Compute Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is easy. I've deployed VPCs many times."
"The product can be used to isolate environments."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple since my company manages it with the use of Terraform."
"The main feature I like about Amazon VPC is its security capabilities, including security groups and subnets."
"It is an user-friendly solution."
"One person with capable knowledge can implement the solution."
"The solution's subnetting feature is good and has impacted our network design."
"The best feature is that you can run your servers directly on Amazon's premises, and have access to the internet without Amazon utilizing your own internet connection in your office."
"I have found all of the features valuable. It's an easy and cheap solution."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The support from AWS Lambda is very good, they are responsive."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Lambda, from a conceptual point, is its functions. For example, it's mathematical templates into which you can write, and create your solution. You write small pieces of a solution under given parameters."
"We are building a Twitter-like application in the boot camp. I have used Lamda for the integration of the post-confirmation page in the application. This will help you get your one-time password via mail. You can log in with the help of a post-confirmation page. We didn’t want to setup an instance specifically for confirmation. We used the Lambda function so that it goes back to sleep after pushing up."
"The valuable feature of AWS Lambda is the ease of coding. It is easier to code using the solution."
"The solution runs on the latest cloud technology so it is easy to deploy cloud-native projects."
"The tool is not scalable."
"There is always room for improvement. It can be in support."
"VPC itself is pretty good, but understanding it well is key. One of the challenges for beginners is understanding IP address ranges and subnet concepts."
"AWS is a bit costlier than other public clouds."
"While creating a VPC, you can create a private and public subnet. If you forget to automatically assign a public IP address when creating an EC2 instance, the instance will not be able to access the internet. You can enable automatic public IP assignment for your public subnet to avoid this. This is something one always forgets while creating a VPC in infrastructure."
"The product is restricted to a particular region. They should provide a global architecture."
"In Amazon VPC, there's room for improvement. For example, when we create security groups, I think we should be able to restrict outgoing traffic to secured websites. I know there's a method to restrict that, but we should also be able to design outgoing traffic restrictions at the system level. We should use that to deny ports instead of relying solely on network access controls at the subnet level."
"They should release a trial version."
"If it is a specific ETL process or a long-term one, then AWS Lambda is not a good option."
"There is room for improvement in user-friendliness. When comparing this solution to others it is not as user-friendly."
"I would like to see some better integration with other providers, like Cohesity, Druva, and others. I also think the Lambda interface could be better."
"The automation with other Amazon products could be better."
"There's room for improvement in the testing setup."
"The support team does not know how to implement and build the solution."
"I would like the layers to have a bigger volume. I would like to be able to add more. I don't want to be limited by the layer."
"If you are setting it up on hybrid solution, there is a lot of work that needs to go in."
