Amazon EC2 Instances Icon

Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) provides virtual servers, called instances, in the cloud. You can rent these instances to run your applications, websites, or databases. Think of them as computers you don't have to physically own or maintain; Amazon takes care of the hardware, while you manage the software and operating system. EC2 offers various instance types with differing processing power, memory, and storage options, letting you choose the best fit for your workloads.
