AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Service
An AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Service is an AWS service that is a internet-based computing infrastructure service.
- Context:
- It can support the creation of an AWS EC2 Instance (of some AWS EC2 instance type).
- It can support the use of an Elastic IP Address.
- It can be managed through the AWS Management Console or an Elasticfox Tool.
- It can have a cost and be reported on an AWS EC2 Cost-Report (such as [1]).
- …
- Example(s):
- AWS in 2018-09-18.
- AWS in 2006-03-14.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Elastic Compute Cloud, AWS Auto-Scaling.

- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a part of Amazon.com's cloud-computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), that allows users to rent virtual computers on which to run their own computer applications. EC2 encourages scalable deployment of applications by providing a web service through which a user can boot an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to configure a virtual machine, which Amazon calls an "instance", containing any software desired. A user can create, launch, and terminate server-instances as needed, paying by the second for active servershence the term "elastic". EC2 provides users with control over the geographical location of instances that allows for latency optimization and high levels of redundancy. In November 2010, Amazon switched its own retail website platform to EC2 and AWS.

- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
Amazon EC2’s 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. Amazon 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. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Amazon EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure resilient applications and isolate themselves from common failure scenarios.
