I am working on a small academic project trying to understand how software developers and architects utilize the consoles and dashboards of different cloud providers, especially in their product development and deployment workflows.

I would be grateful for some responses to the following 3 questions specifically about the Web console of Amazon Web Services.

How often in a month do you use the Console to...

1) reconfigure existing AWS instances or other service units (like an S3 bucket or a load balancer)? 2) add new AWS instances or other service units? 3) replicate existing AWS instances or other service units wherever applicable?
