Quick Connects
Nice PickDevelopers should use Quick Connects when managing AWS infrastructure that requires secure, auditable remote access to EC2 instances or hybrid environments, particularly for troubleshooting, configuration, or maintenance tasks
Pros
- +It is ideal for teams needing to comply with security policies that restrict SSH key management or open ports, as it leverages AWS IAM for access control and logs all sessions in CloudTrail for auditing purposes
- +Related to: aws-systems-manager, amazon-ec2
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Remote Desktop Protocol
Developers should learn RDP for scenarios requiring remote access to Windows-based servers, virtual machines, or development environments, such as managing cloud infrastructure, debugging applications on remote systems, or collaborating with team members across different locations
Pros
- +It is essential for IT professionals, system administrators, and developers working in hybrid or remote setups to efficiently control and troubleshoot systems without physical access
- +Related to: windows-server, virtualization
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
