AWS 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.
