Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides virtual server hosting in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers by providing resizeable compute capacity.

The JavaScript API for Amazon EC2 is exposed through the `AWS.EC2` client class. For more information about using the Amazon EC2 client class, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/EC2.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/EC2.html) in the API reference.
