| Fact | Amazon EC2 | Cloud Native Buildpacks Pack |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | G2 reviewers identify integrations with VPC, S3, CloudWatch, IAM and Auto Scaling as common parts of EC2 deployments. | The project documents a CircleCI orb for running pack commands, GitLab Auto DevOps use of pack, and a Tekton reference task for builds. |
| Purpose | Amazon EC2 provides resizable, secure compute capacity as virtual servers in the cloud. | Pack is a CLI tool maintained by the Cloud Native Buildpacks project to support the use of buildpacks. |
EC2 suits teams needing configurable cloud compute for the listed application, enterprise, or specialist workloads. Its instance choice, scaling options, and storage integrations may also fit deployments with changing capacity needs.
Pack suits developers who want to build or rebase application images with buildpacks from the command line or Go. It requires a containerized environment and a daemon such as Docker or Podman.
