An instance in cloud computing is a server resource provided by third-party cloud services. While you can manage and maintain physical server resources on premises, it is costly and inefficient to do so. Cloud providers maintain hardware in their data centers and give you virtual access to compute resources in the form of an instance. You can use the cloud instance for running compute-intensive workloads like containers, databases, microservices, and virtual machines. A cloud instance allows software developers to scale beyond traditional physical boundaries. Unlike physical servers, developers don’t need to worry about the underlying hardware when deploying workloads on a cloud instance. There are two main benefits of cloud instances. Scalability Developers scale computing resources in a cloud instance according to their workload requirements. For example, software developers deploy an application on an instance. As the app gains more users, it experiences huge traffic that slows down response time. Developers can horizontally scale cloud resources by increasing the CPU, memory, storage, and network resources to the particular instance. Fault tolerance Organizations create redundancy by using multiple duplicate instances for backup. They are especially useful for managing memory-intensive workloads like data processing. For example, an application can still run on other instances in the US and Asia if a cloud instance hosted in Europe fails. Compute intensive You can run ...

Q: What is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)? Amazon EC2 is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in Q: What can I do with EC2? Just as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) enables storage in the cloud, EC2 enables “compute” in the cloud. The EC2 simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment. EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change. EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Q: How can I get started with EC2? To sign up for EC2, click the “Sign up for This Web Service” button on the EC2 detail page. You must have an AWS account to access this service; if you do not already have one, you will be prompted to create one when you begin the EC2 sign-up process. After signing up, please refer to the Q: Why am I asked to verify my phone number when signing up for EC2? EC2 registration requires you to have a valid phone number and email address on file with AWS in case we ever need to contact you. Verifying your phone number takes only a couple of minutes and involves receiving a phone call during the registration process and entering a PIN using the phone key pad. Q: What can developer...

Over the past six or seven years I have had the opportunity to see customers of all sizes use In order to help you to do this for your own applications, I’d like to review some important EC2 concepts and then take a look at each of the instance types that make up the EC2 instance family. Important Concepts Let’s start with some concepts, just to make sure that we are all on the same page. An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a template that defines your operating environment, including the operating system. A single AMI can be used to launch one or thousands of instances. Instances provide compute power and are the fundamental building blocks. Instances are created by launching an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) on a particular instance type. You can scale the number of instances you are running up or down on demand, either manually or automatically, using Instance Types comprise various combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity and give you the flexibility to choose the appropriate mix of resources for your applications. Each instance type has one or more size options that address different workload sizes. For the best experience, you should launch on instance types that are the best fit for your applications. Instance Families are collections of instance types designed to meet a common goal. To make it easier for you to select the best option for your applications, Amazon EC2 instance types are grouped together into families based on target application profile...
