What is Amazon EC2?
EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) provides resizable virtual servers, called instances, that you launch on demand in the cloud. You choose an instance type defining CPU, memory, and networking, pick an AMI (machine image), and pay for the capacity you use. EC2 underpins many workloads, from web servers to batch processing, and integrates with auto scaling and load balancers for elasticity. It gives you control over the operating system, making it the flexible, general-purpose compute foundation of AWS.
