Amazon EC2 (Computing Instance)

Amazon EC2 is a popular computing instance service that has been around for decades. EC2 can be called the elastic cloud as it is a scalable, resizable computing capacity offered by AWS to handle (Simple to complex, Workloads).

AWS EC2 ENSURES : Highly reliable Computing service | Highly Scalable Computing service.

AWS EC2 provides a highly secure computing infrastructure. AWS EC2 is feature-loaded and offers quick integration with both first-party and third-party services. 

AWS EC2 is easy to migrate via leveraging, AWS MIGRATION TOOL. AWS managed services and AWS EC2 can be integrated seamlessly with the other I ST PARTY and 3 RD PARTY services. AWS EC2 server supports AMD and Intel processors. AWS EC2 leverages state-of-the-art bare metal devices for high-performance networking, processing, and storage facilities.

EC2 Features include:

  • Compute Optimized
  • Memory Optimized
  • Storage Optimized
  • Accelerated Performance 

AWS EC2 provides global infrastructure as they are spread across multiple locations globally, SLA offers 99/99 availability for each EC2 region. AWS EC2 is integrated with time sync servers which helps in delivering high-precision time sync across servers.

EC2 gives high flexibility for the end user to pick the machine image of their choice, for Windows, amazon Linux, Ubuntu, Redhat, Linux, cart os, SUSE, and Debian, this provides a high level of flexibility to the end user. Enterprise can securely integrate their current infra with EC2 infrastructure.

EC2 provides optimal storage solutions for all kinds of workloads, EC2 can be integrated with the following data-stores AMAZON BLOB STORES | AWS S3 | Amazon elastic file system | Amazon Aurora |.

“AMAZON EBS, Provides HQ block storage volume “

“AMAZON EFS provides HQ cloud File System”

EC2 networking capabilities are top-notch as they provide (high packet per second) performance with low latency. Enhanced networking capabilities are just part of EC2 infrastructure high (PPS) performance is the best in the cloud industry.

AWS EC2 ensures :

It Provides higher performance, highly connected networking Features like EFA which refers to elastic fiber adapter which is a networking interface. EFA  are integrated with applications that do a lot of data transmission, and networking inter-node operations. EFA is leveraged in applications where there is high inter-node communications.

EFA is usually utilized in complex processes like predictive analysis, processing complex multi-dimensional data sets, ML, Fluid dynamics, complex Scientific calculations, and many more (Technology Pause) Processes.

Elastic IP address offers programmatic remapping of public IP to any instance in your AWS ACCOUNT.

Elastic IP is associated with the account, not with an instance, hence the failure of the server and AZ can be masked, and seamless dynamic cloud computing services can be provided with high reliability and low latency.

Aws ec2 enables users to derive high throughput and low latency, resulting in high compute and networking performance. All this can be easily accessed monitored and managed via access services hosted on AWS via a Private link.

AWS EC2 comes with all the machine images that are widely used and all The AMI (amazon machine images) are pre-configured with an expanding list of operating systems.

OS AMI offered by AWS EC2

1) MS WINDOWS

2) LINUX DISTROS

3) Ubuntu

4) Debian

5) SUSE

6) Cent OS

7) Red Hat Enterprise

Plus there is a wide suite of 3 RD PARTY softwares which are designed to be integrated seamlessly with AWS EC2 to satisfy many technology business use cases.

AWS EC2 is very maintainable, it carries our routine hardware checks, software checks, and network and hardware maintenance are carried out frequently to ensure HQ computing services.

AWS EC2 service ensures LIVE UPDATES / LIVE MIGRATIONS / MINIMAL DISRUPTION / STRONG SLAs / 99% + UPTIME GUARANTEES

AWS has a Non-intrusive maintenance system that provides ‘ zero latency’ as the instances don’t need to be paused/ stopped, this provides higher availability and reduces operational latency drastically.

Amazon EC2 provides users with many instance types with different combinations of CPU, MEMORY, DISK, and NETWORKING CAPABILITIES.

Types of EC2 offerings:

1) GENERAL PURPOSE

2) COMPUTE-OPTIMIZED

3) MEMORY OPTIMIZED

4) Accelerated Computing

5) HPC Optimized

AWS EC2 features includes:  Burstable Performance |  EBS Optimized | Cluster Networking | Multiple Storage Options.

EC2 instances leveraged state-of-the-art hardware ie: INTEL and ARM processors some offerings are as follows:

  • Intel AES-N
  • Intel AUX, Intel AUS 2, Intel AUX sereis0
  • Intel Turbo boost technology
  • Intel Deep learning boost
