message: EC2 seems like a commercial trading name or trademark, etc. I believe this is a pretty basic commercial article. It is probably a weakness of Wikipedia that it makes it too easy to create a new article. Now Wikipedia is established, the rate of arrival of concepts new to Wikipedia has dropped off quite markedly. Maybe it is time for a slightly more restrictive policy regarding who can create what kind of new articles why?    —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjalexand (talk • contribs) 14:29, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Today's massive outage, which affected a number of social websites, is not mentioned. Indeed, the introduction gives a concrete reason why this service is claimed to be reliable. An encyclopedia is not the place for biased coverage of a flawed commercial service. At least let some time go by, then write a balanced article. -- David_Spector 74.65.139.79 (talk) 19:06, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The article scans a little bit like an advert, more NPOV would be better, plus mention of competition.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.104.212.36 (talk) 09:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Competition is listed in the See Also, in the Cloud computing template and at the article's parent article. However it could be formatted better in this article. Perhaps you should edit the article WP:BOLD --Abc518 (talk) 14:46, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Removed the advert tag. There is always room for improvement but a tag is distracting so there has to be a good strong reason for putting it there.Wtsao (talk) 22:46, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I think it would be helpful to have some history on EC2.  When was EC2 launched?  I'm trying to compare various "cloud" technologies, particularly when they were launched.
EC2 always basically went into a "second" phase recently, when instance storage and IPs could be persistent.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.251.80.98 (talk) 17:58, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  History? 

message: It would be helpful for those of us who are non-tecchies if this page could link to a reliable definition of what an instance is. This term seems fundamental to understanding the EC2. I've looked at the current entries for the term on Wikipedia, there are several, and none explain wtf it means in terms that an ordinary person, who is not an IT specialist, can understand.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudfa (talk • contribs) 10:59, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The charts (which compare ec2 to google or azure) are nice.
It would be great to get a different perspective: Cost over time.
How much did it cost in the year 2015, 2016, ...?
Do the costs drop? How much do they drop?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guettli (talk • contribs) 08:59, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Is "Issues" section complete? There is link "View post-event summaries" https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/pes/ on https://status.aws.amazon.com/ mentioning also 
* Summary of the Amazon EC2, Amazon EBS, and Amazon RDS Service Event in the EU West Region, August 7, 2014. ... at 10:41 AM PDT on August 7th  ... we lost power to almost all of the EC2 instances and 58% of the EBS volumes in that Availability Zone. ... By 1:49 PM PDT, power had been restored to enough of our network devices that we were able to re-establish connectivity to the Availability Zone. Many of the instances and volumes in the Availability Zone became accessible at this time.
