Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

How Amazon EC2 works

1. Launch
   selecting a template with basic configurations include the operating system, application server, applications.
2. Connect
3. Use

Amazon EC2 instance types

1. General purpose instances
   • provide a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources.
   • such as : application servers, gaming servers, backend servers for enterprise applications, small and medium databases.
2. Compute optimized instances
   • ideal for compute-bound applications that benefit from high-performance processors.
   • for batch processing workloads that require processing many transactions in a single group.
3. Memory optimized instances
   • for workloads that process large datasets in memory.
   • enable you to run workloads with high memory needs and receive great performance.
4. Accelerated computing instances
   • for floating-point number calculations, graphics processing, and data pattern matching.
   • such as graphics applications, game streaming, and application streaming.
5. Storage optimized instances
   • require high, sequential read and write access to large datasets on local storage.
   • include distributed file systems, data warehousing applications, and high frequency online transacion processing systems.
