Personalized recommendation
Start with AWS EC2 (enterprise governance + ecosystem)
If AWS gravity is real and you need governance/ecosystem depth, start with EC2 and invest early in standards for images, patching, scaling, and cost controls.
How this works: Based on common constraint patterns, we match you to the operating model and products that typically fit. Verify against your specific requirements.
