ec2¶
Description¶
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides secure and resizable computing capacity in the AWS cloud. Using Amazon EC2 eliminates the need to invest in hardware up front, so you can develop and deploy applications faster.
To learn more, see the following resources:
- Amazon EC2: AmazonEC2 product page , Amazon EC2 documentation
- Amazon EBS: Amazon EBS product page , Amazon EBS documentation
- Amazon VPC: Amazon VPC product page , Amazon VPC documentation
- AWS VPN: AWS VPN product page , AWS VPN documentation
