AWS EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) is a cloud-based service that provides scalable virtual servers, known as instances, for running applications and workloads. It allows users to choose instance types, operating systems, and configurations tailored to their specific needs while offering features like auto-scaling and load balancing for flexibility and performance. With its pay-as-you-go pricing model, EC2 eliminates the need for upfront hardware investments and ensures cost-efficient, on-demand compute power.
Web Hosting:
Agility to easily provision web server instances, scale websites to handle traffic spikes using Auto Scaling and Elastic Load Balancing. Always have the resources you need when you need them without buying expensive hardware.
Big Data Analytics:
Process large datasets with high-performance compute or memory-optimized instances. Select the compute power you need Use Spot Instances to stay cost effective and drop them when your done.
Disaster Recovery:
Quickly spin up environments in alternate regions or Availability Zones for cost-effective backup and recovery.
Dev/Test Environments:
Create isolated, scalable environments for short-term testing and development needs. Create templates using CloudFormation to create these instances automatically and quickly
Game Hosting:
Support global multiplayer games with low-latency instances and dynamic scaling. All automatically and transparent to your users.
