Agreed, I feel like AWS has the worst UI of them all, followed by Azure's Metro/Visual Studio-style UI and then GCP is OK on the UI front, but lacks when it comes to monitoring and configuration options for things like CloudSQL for example.
- aeyes 7y agoAWS is all about the API, some services don't even have a UI. Once you start using the API AWS is the best option out there.
- AsyncAwait 7y agoI did hear that, but sometimes is nice do do things from the UI, especially when testing new services.
- caymanjim 7y agoYeah. My AWS experience is on small-scale deployments--up to a few dozen servers. It's painful to manage them through the Amazon UI. When I left that client, the devops team there was transitioning to TerraForm and other deployment and configuration systems, and connecting to in-house monitoring systems. That's the right approach. It's out of reach for smaller teams who can't afford the extra engineering; they're better off with something like Digital Ocean. DO has a fantastic UI and a decent API, but doesn't support anywhere near the level of enterprise features that AWS does.
- dandigangi 7y agoOmg.. yes. Their UI is awful. CloudWatch gives me ulcers. But! At the same time, infra engineers live on the command line using their CLI and what not.
