Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

Amazon EC2 serves with the scalable computing capacity in Amazon WebServices (AWS) cloud. Designed with the purpose of making web-scale cloud computing easier for the developers, it ensures to provide secure, resizable computing capacity in the cloud. 

Usage of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud will eliminate your need of investing in the hardware up front and will also help you to develop and deploy your applications quickly. 

Amazon can be used to launch various servers as per your need and also provides the facility of configuring security, managing the storage and networking.

It is simple web service interface and gives you the allowance to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. 

You get complete control of your computing resources. 

Scaling up or down so as to handle the changes in requirements or spikes in popularity is possible wit Amazon EC2. 

Lastly, Amazon EC2 serves the developers with the tools which help them to build the failure resilient applications which can even be isolated by them from common failure scenarios.

Amazon EC2 serves with various features:-

1) Instances which are the Virtual Computing Environments.

2) It is Elastic Web-Scale Computing which enables you to increase or decrease the capacity within minutes without taking much of your hours or day.

3) The configurations of CPU, storage, memory and networking capacity for your instances named as instance types.

4) Amazon EC2 is in integration with many AWS services including Amazon Simple Storage Service, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, and Amazon Relational Database Service.

5) With the help of key pairs, it provides secure login information.

6) In order to store your data well, with the help of Amazon Elastic Block Store it provides persistent storage volumes for your data known as Amazon EBS volumes.

7) With the help of Amazon EBS volumes, it then serves with regions and Availability Zones which are the multiple physical locations for your resources like instances and Amazon EBS volumes.

8) Amazon EC2 is reliable and allows easy prediction of replacement instances.

9) You can get the complete control of all your instances like root access and even the ability which helps you in interacting with them as a machine.

10) In order to specify the protocols, ports and source IP ranges which can even reach your instances using security groups you get the access of a firewall.

11) It gives you financial benefits; with very low rate for compute capacity you get great benefits.

12) To create and assign your Amazon EC2 resources you are offered with Metadata knows as tags.

13) It gives high priority to Cloud Security and that is why it is completely secure.
