Pro
New t2.nano tier makes it cost competitive

AWS has typically been much more expensive but the new tier brings them inline with a $5 per months starter.

Pro
Excellent feature-set

The tools and features available on AWS are mind blowing. From blob store through load balancers, queuing and databases just for starters.

Cons
