Create an EC2 Instance for Linux
The full form of Amazon EC2 is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. Amazon EC2 is one of the most
used and most basic services on Amazon so it makes sense to start with EC2 when you are new
to AWS. Well, to be very simple, EC2 is a machine with an operating system and hardware
components of your choice. But the difference is that it is totally virtualized. You can run
multiple virtual computers in a single physical hardware.
Amazon EC2 instances eliminate the up-front investment for hardware, and there is no need
to maintain any rented hardware. It enables you to build and run applications faster. You can
use EC2 in AWS to launch as many virtual servers as you need. Also, you can scale up or down
when there is an increase or decrease in website traffic.
