Setting Up and Connecting to an Amazon EC2 Instance

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Amazon EC2 is a fundamental Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution provided by Amazon Web Services. It delivers scalable, on-demand virtual servers in the cloud, allowing users to run applications without the need to buy or manage physical hardware. These virtual servers, known as instances, can be quickly launched, resized, or terminated, making EC2 well-suited for workloads with changing performance or capacity requirements. EC2 supports various operating systems, including Linux and Windows. It seamlessly integrates with AWS services such as networking through VPC, storage solutions like EBS and S3, security services including IAM and Security Groups, as well as automation tools. The service operates on a pay-as-you-use pricing model, ensuring cost efficiency based on actual usage.
