Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud 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 them from common failure scenarios.
Per-tenant isolation gives you full control of networking, routing and firewalls through VPC and network virtualization capabilities. Network services scale with your deployment, eliminating traditional bottlenecks. Elastic compute capacity that can be provisioned against a single infrastructure pool, with support for the tools developers already use. High performance, persistent block storage service with configurable capacity and IOPS per volume.
