I would like to clean up this page over the next few months. I'm going to start by summarizing the issues raised on this page and then propose what the cleanup could look like with the hope that those more familiar with Wiki contribution guidelines can help guide my effort. Help welcome with summarizing the issues

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)
Wow, I never thought I'd live to see 10-20% rate of FAILURE on database connectivity. What are they running on, pentium II's and scavenged parts?
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)
As I reached the pricing table I wanted to add this section here .... I see others also have brain to see that the page is made by Amazon. 83.137.66.183 ( talk) 12:11, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
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)

I think whoever put in the $73/mo price is on something. I ran a test using Amazon's calculator and got $23/mo for a single, continuously running "small" Linux instance with 1Gb data in and 2Gb out, but I'm not confident enough in what I entered in that to change the Wiki page...

Pricing section is completely odd .... it is advertising, nothing else! The article is BLAMING! 83.137.66.183 ( talk) 12:13, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
There are tons of pricing options for hundreds of instances types. Should add some handy table and/or chart. Preferably with competitors comparison. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoCloud ( talk • contribs) 19:34, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
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) The closest that I can find with a quick Google search is here: [1], which I shall add, but I am sure someone else can do better.

What is this supposed to mean: "Charges are applied on demand so the credit need not be used in the first month."? It's in the "free tier" section. 188.25.99.206 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC).
EC2 was down for a few hours on this day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.247.174.65 ( talk) 05:42, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
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)
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
IMO There should be warning that the list of Issues is not complete. mj41 ( talk) 14:46, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
