Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) provides a wide range of virtual machine instances, optimized to meet different computing needs.
There are different types of EC2 instances available for various use cases such as general-purpose instances, compute-optimized instances, memory-optimized instances, storage-optimized instances, GPU-optimized instances, accelerated computing instances, high memory instances, and bare-metal instances.
Choosing the right EC2 instance depends on the specific workload you are running, whether it is web servers, high-performance computing tasks, in-memory databases, graphics-heavy tasks, or other specialized workloads.
AWS also offers different instance options like Spot Instances, Reserved Instances, and On-Demand Instances to help manage costs efficiently.
