Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud | Amazon EC2


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

You are limited to running up to a total of 20 On-Demand instances across the instance family, purchasing 20 Reserved Instances, and requesting Spot Instances per your dynamic spot limit per region (by default) Amazon EC2 currently supports a variety of operating systems including: Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Fedora, Debian, CentOS, Gentoo Linux, Oracle Linux, and FreeBSD EC2 compute units (ECU) provide the relative measure of the integer processing power of an Amazon EC2 instance  

With EC2 you have full control at the operating system layer  

Key pairs are used to securely connect to EC2 instances: 
A key pair consists of a public key that AWS stores, and a private key file that you store For Windows AMIs, the private key file is required to obtain the password used to log into your instance For Linux AMIs, the private key file allows you to securely SSH into your instance  

Metadata and User Data: 
User data is data that is supplied by the user at instance launch in the form of a script Instance metadata is data about your instance that you can use to configure or manage the running instance User data is limited to 16KB User data and metadata are not encrypted Instance metadata is available at http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data The Instance Metadata Query tool allows you to query the instance metadata without having to type out the full URI or category names
