3.14 Introduction EC2 AWS

EC2 is a web service offered by AWS that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. EC2 allows users to rent virtual computers on which they can run their own applications. These virtual machines, called instances, can be launched in minutes and can be scaled up or down as needed. EC2 instances can be configured with a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. Additionally, EC2 provides a variety of tools and services to help users manage their instances, including load balancing, auto-scaling, and monitoring. With EC2, users can quickly and easily deploy their applications to the cloud, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
