Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) offers the broadest and deepest compute platform, with over 500 instances and choice of the latest processor, storage, networking, operating system, and purchase model to help you best match the needs of your workload. We are the first major cloud provider that supports Intel, AMD, and Arm processors, the only cloud with on-demand EC2 Mac instances, and the only cloud with 400 Gbps Ethernet networking. We offer the best price performance for machine learning training, as well as the lowest cost per inference instances in the cloud. More SAP, high performance computing (HPC), ML, and Windows workloads run on AWS than any other cloud.

Amazon EC2 provides the broadest and deepest instance choice to match your workload’s needs. General purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized, storage optimized, and accelerated computing instance types are available that provide the optimal compute, memory, storage, and networking balance for your workloads. Processors from Intel, AMD, NVIDIA and AWS power these instance types and provide additional performance and cost optimizations. Local storage and enhanced networking options available with instance types further help optimize performance for workloads that are disk or network I/O bound. Many instance types also offer bare metal instances that provide your applications with direct access to the processor and memory of the underlying server for running in non-virtualized environments or for applications where you want to use your own hypervisor. To find the right instance for your workload, visit the EC2 instance types page. You can also use the AWS Compute Optimizer to get recommendations on optimal AWS Compute resources for your workloads to reduce costs and improve performance.

Global Infrastructure

  • Multiple Locations

Amazon EC2 provides the ability to place instances in multiple locations. Amazon EC2 locations are composed of Regions and Availability Zones. Availability Zones are distinct locations that are engineered to be insulated from failures in other Availability Zones and provide inexpensive, low latency network connectivity to other Availability Zones in the same Region. By launching instances in separate Availability Zones, you can protect your applications from failure of a single location. Regions consist of one or more Availability Zones and are geographically dispersed. The Amazon EC2 Service Level Agreement commitment is 99.99% availability for each Amazon EC2 Region.

  • High Precision Time with Amazon Time Sync Service

The Amazon Time Sync Service provides a highly accurate, reliable and available time source to AWS services including EC2 instances. For instructions on how to access the service, see Setting the Time sections of the Linux and Windows User Guides.

  • Choice of operating systems and software

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are preconfigured with an ever-growing list of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Linux distributions such as Amazon Linux 2, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, SUSE and Debian. The AWS Marketplace features a wide selection of commercial and free software from well-known vendors, designed to run on your EC2 instances.

Cost and Capacity Optimization

  • Pay for What You Use

With per-second billing, you only pay for what you use. It takes the cost of unused minutes and seconds in an hour off of the bill, so you can focus on improving your applications instead of maximizing usage to the hour.

  • Scale Seamlessly with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling allows you to automatically scale your Amazon EC2 capacity up or down according to conditions you define. You can use the dynamic and predictive scaling policies within EC2 Auto Scaling to add or remove EC2 instances. Predictive scaling uses machine learning to proactively allocate instances based on anticipated demand, and dynamic scaling allows you to scale compute based on defined metrics. With EC2 Auto Scaling, you can ensure that the number of Amazon EC2 instances you’re using scales up seamlessly during demand spikes to maintain performance, and scales down automatically during demand lulls to minimize costs.

  • Optimize Compute Performance and Cost with Amazon EC2 Fleet

With a single API call, Amazon EC2 Fleet lets you provision compute capacity across EC2 instance types, Availability Zones, and purchase models to help optimize scale, performance and cost. You can also access EC2 Fleet capabilities via Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to provision and automatically scale compute capacity across EC2 instance types, Availability Zones, and purchase options in a single Auto Scaling Group.

  • Optimized CPU Configurations

The Optimize CPUs feature gives you greater control of your Amazon EC2 instances on two fronts. First, you can specify a custom number of vCPUs when launching new instances to save on vCPU-based licensing costs. Second, you can disable Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) for workloads that perform well with single-threaded CPUs, such as certain high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

  • Pause and Resume Your Instances

You can hibernate your Amazon EC2 instances backed by Amazon EBS, and resume them from this state at a later time. Applications that take a while to bootstrap and persist state into memory (RAM) can benefit from this feature. For more information about hibernation, and supported instance types and operating systems.

Storage

  • Optimal storage for every workload

Different Amazon EC2 workloads can have vastly different storage requirements. Beyond the built-in instance storage, we also offer Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) and Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) to suit other cloud storage workload requirements. Amazon EBS provides persistent, highly available, consistent, low-latency block storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances, while Amazon EFS provides simple, scalable, persistent, fully managed cloud file storage for shared access.

Networking

  • High Packet-Per-Second Performance and Low Latency with Enhanced Networking

Enhanced Networking enables you to get significantly higher packet per second (PPS) performance, lower network jitter and lower latencies. This feature uses a network virtualization stack that provides higher I/O performance and lower CPU utilization compared to traditional implementations. For instructions on how to enable Enhanced Networking on EC2 instances, see the Enhanced Networking on Linux and Enhanced Networking on Windows tutorials.

  • Run High Levels of Inter-Node Communications with Elastic Fabric Adapter

Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) is a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that enables customers to run applications requiring high levels of inter-instance communications, like machine learning, computational fluid dynamics, weather modeling, and reservoir simulation, at scale on AWS. EFA is available as an optional EC2 networking feature that you can enable on any supported EC2 instance at no additional cost.

  • Manage Dynamic Cloud Computing Services with Elastic IP Addresses

Elastic IP addresses are static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing. An Elastic IP address is associated with your account, not with a particular instance, and you control that address until you choose to explicitly release it. Unlike traditional static IP addresses, however, Elastic IP addresses allow you to mask instance or Availability Zone failures by programmatically remapping your public IP addresses to any instance in your account.

  • High Throughput and Low Latency with High Performance Computing (HPC) Clusters

Customers with complex computational workloads such as tightly coupled parallel processes, or with applications sensitive to network performance, can achieve the same high compute and network performance provided by custom-built infrastructure while benefiting from the elasticity, flexibility and cost advantages of Amazon EC2. Cluster Compute, Cluster GPU, and High Memory Cluster instances have been specifically engineered to provide high-performance network capability and can be programmatically launched into clusters – allowing applications to get the low-latency network performance required for tightly coupled node-to-node communication. Cluster instances also provide significantly increased throughput making them well suited for customer applications that need to perform network-intensive operations.

  • Access Services Hosted on AWS Easily and Securely with AWS PrivateLink

AWS PrivateLink is a purpose-built technology designed for customers to access Amazon services in a highly performant and highly available manner while keeping all the network traffic within the AWS network.
