Summary

Amazon EC2 is a foundational AWS service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Developers commonly use EC2 to run microservices, backend APIs, CI/CD agents, integration tests, and even GPU-accelerated workloads for AI/ML. Its tight integration with developer tools like CodeDeploy, CloudWatch, and Systems Manager makes it especially valuable for automated and scalable application development. Here are some key concepts we covered:

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are blueprints for launching EC2 instances. They include the operating system, installed packages, and configuration data. AMIs can be:
- Public (community or AWS-provided)
- Custom ...
