AWS EC2

Implements Compute.

IaaS

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) delivers resizable virtual machine instances that form the core compute layer of AWS. Users choose from a wide range of instance types optimized for compute, memory, storage, or GPU workloads, and pay only for capacity in use. Its breadth of instance families and pricing models, including On-Demand, Reserved, and Spot, makes it one of the most flexible compute platforms available.

Capabilities

  • Run arbitrary OS and application workloads
  • Scale vertically (size) and horizontally (count)
  • Attach block, file, and object storage
  • Place behind a load balancer for high availability
