# Code examples for Amazon EC2 using AWS SDKs The following code examples show how to use Amazon EC2 with an AWS software development kit (SDK). *Basics* are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service. *Actions* are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios. *Scenarios* are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services. For a complete list of AWS SDK developer guides and code examples, see [Create Amazon EC2 resources using an AWS SDK](sdk-general-information-section.md). This topic also includes information about getting started and details about previous SDK versions. **Contents** + [Basics](service_code_examples_basics.md) + [Hello Amazon
