Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
Explore the core concepts of Amazon EC2 including instance types, Amazon Machine Images, security measures, and storage options. Understand how EC2 enables deployment of scalable and high-availability virtual servers for various computing needs.
We'll cover the following...
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a resizable cloud computing capacity. It allows users to run virtual servers, known as instances, for various computing tasks. EC2 offers a secure, flexible, and scalable solution, enabling businesses to easily deploy, manage, and scale applications without investing in physical hardware.
EC2 offers different benefits besides being a flexible computing capacity. It allows us to deploy instances in multiple Availability Zones (AZs) within a region in combination with different services such as elastic load balancer and auto scaling group to offer high availability within a region. In this lesson, we’ll learn the core concepts of EC2.
