Introduction to

Amazon Web
Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services (AWS) stands at the forefront of cloud computing,
offering a robust and comprehensive suite of services that cater to a vast array
of computing needs. AWS has revolutionized the way organizations deploy and
manage IT infrastructure, applications, and services.

EC2, or Elastic Compute Cloud, represents a pivotal component of AWS's


offerings, providing resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It has been
engineered to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers and
allows for scalable deployment of applications by providing a web service
through which users can boot an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to configure a
virtual machine, which Amazon refers to as an instance, containing any
software desired.
Overview of EC2 instances

Pricing and cost considerations

1 On-Demand
On-Demand Instances let you pay for compute capacity by the hour or second with no
long-term commitments. This offers flexibility to start or stop at any time and only pay
for what you use.

2 Reserved Instances
Reserved Instances provide you with a significant discount, up to 75% compared to On-
Demand prices, in exchange for committing to a one or three-year use term.

3 Spot Instances
Spot Instances allow you to bid for unused EC2 capacity at potentially lower prices,
which can further reduce your computing costs.

4 Savings Plans
Savings Plans is a flexible pricing model that provides savings over On-Demand rates in
exchange for a commitment to use a specific volume of resources for a one or three-year
period.
Setting up and launching an EC2
instance
Select AMI
The process begins by selecting an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), which determines the
operating system and initial state of your virtual server.

Choose Instance Type


Next, choose the instance type that fits the performance and budgetary requirements of
your application or workload.

Configure Instance
Configure the instance details, including the virtual network and subnet, and add storage
and tags as necessary.

Review and Launch


Finally, review all settings and launch your instance. Within minutes, your EC2 instance
will be up and running and ready to use.
Managing and scaling EC2 instances

Monitoring Configuration Auto Scaling


Utilize tools like Amazon Adjust configuration settings, Implement Auto Scaling to
