Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides resizable computing capacity in the cloud. It allows users to launch virtual servers, configure security and networking, and manage storage. EC2 provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud, offering the broadest choice of processor, storage, networking, OS, and purchase model. EC2 instances are virtual machines that can be launched in the cloud and are available in different instance types to enable users to choose the CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity that they need to run their applications. EC2 instances can be launched using different purchasing options, including On-Demand Instances, Spot Instances, and Reserved Instances. EC2 instances can be remotely managed using AWS Systems Manager, which enables users to remotely and securely manage the configuration of their EC2 instances and machines in their hybrid environment. EC2 is a key component of AWS and is widely used for running applications in the cloud.
