Introduction to EC2 (AWS)
1 like437 views
EC2 is Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud that provides secure and scalable virtual computing resources. It offers virtual machines known as instances that customers can launch, manage, and terminate as needed. EC2 provides high performance, reliability and scalability by distributing instances across multiple regions and availability zones. Customers pay for instances based on factors like the instance type, region, operating system and amount of time the instances are running. EC2 integrates with other AWS services and provides features like automatic scaling of resources based on demand.

- 12. How AZs delivers performance? ▰ What about the hardware? ▻ CPU ▻ Storage 12
- 13. Performance Factor: Instance Family 13 ▰ Family: Different compute capabilities ▰ Size: CPU Number, Memory(RAM) Size ▰ Generation: Changes in processor architecture ▰ Eg: ▻ C3.xlarge (4 CPU, 7.5 GB) ▻ C3.x4large (8 CPU, 15 GB)
- 14. Performance Factor: Family 14 ▰ General Purpose ▻ T1, T2 - Lightweight web servers, Developer environments ▻ M3, M4 - Enterprise application servers ▰ Memory Optimized ▻ X1 - Memory-intensive workloads ▻ R3 - Business intelligence workloads, Data mining ▰ Compute Optimized ▻ C3,C4 - Compute-intensive: Batch processing, simulations, 3D rendering ▰ Storage Optimized ▻ I3 - Random I/O performance eg. NOSQL databases ▻ D2 - Dense storage and high disk throughput e.g. Hadoop, parallel processing.
- 15. Performance Factor: Storage 15 ▰ Throughput Optimized HDD ▰ Cold HDD ▰ Amazon EBS General Purpose (SSD) volumes (Recommended) ▰ Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes ▰ S3/Glacier
