Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a scalable cloud computing service that enables businesses to run virtual servers in the cloud with ease. It allows users to quickly launch virtual machines (VMs) known as instances, configure them to their needs, and scale computing capacity up or down as required. EC2 is highly customizable, with various instance types suited for different workloads, from general-purpose computing to high-performance computing. The service integrates seamlessly with other AWS offerings, including storage, databases, and machine learning tools, providing a robust and flexible infrastructure for businesses of all sizes. EC2’s pay-as-you-go pricing model means users only pay for the computing power they use, making it a cost-effective solution for companies looking to reduce infrastructure costs. Additionally, Amazon EC2 offers high availability, security features, and easy management through the AWS Management Console, allowing businesses to deploy and manage applications in the cloud with minimal effort.
