The special thing I think is that Glue is full-managed ETL service.
As you're saying, EC2 can do what Glue does.
Glue
- can define a crawler for metadata table definitions
- can load data to and from other AWS services
- can create logs
- can run scheduled jobs, on demand jobs
- is serverless
If we use EC2, we need to take care of everything above and take time.
(If the project is small enough, using EC2 might be enough.)
