EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) provides scalable virtual servers in the cloud, allowing you to deploy, manage, and scale applications with flexibility and ease. This section covers essential concepts, practical examples, and best practices for working with EC2.
- Instances: Virtual machines with customizable configurations of CPU, memory, and storage.
- AMI (Amazon Machine Image): Pre-configured templates to launch instances with specific configurations and software.
- Security Groups: Virtual firewalls that control inbound and outbound traffic to your instances.
- Elastic IPs: Static IP addresses designed for dynamic cloud computing.
- Auto Scaling: Automatically adjusts the number of instances based on demand.
- Introduction to EC2: Understand the basics of EC2, including instance types, pricing models, and key concepts.
- Launching an Instance: Follow a step-by-step guide to launching and connecting to an EC2 instance.
- Security Groups: Learn about security rules, best practices, and configuring security groups.
- Elastic IPs: Manage static IP addresses and understand their use cases.
- AMI: Create and use Amazon Machine Images to standardize instance configurations.
- Example Use Cases and Case Studies: Review common use cases and case studies for understanding the application of EC2 in various industries.
- [Web Server Setup]: Launch an EC2 instance and set up a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx).
- [Auto Scaling]: Configure Auto Scaling to handle varying traffic loads and ensure high availability.
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate: Focus on EC2 instance types, Auto Scaling, and cost management.
