Key Benefits of Amazon EC2

Money icon

Cost Effective

  • You only pay for what you use. AWS Graviton2-based instances provide up to 40% higher cost-effectiveness, and AMD-based instances lower costs by 10%.
  • Amazon EC2 Spot Instances can be used for fault-tolerant workloads such as big data processing, containers, web services, and CI/CD to save up to 90% of the cost and boost performance.
  • AWS Savings Plans can reduce the costs of Amazon EC2 instances by up to 72% regardless of instance family, size, OS, duration, or Region.

Secure

  • The AWS Nitro System offloads virtualization to dedicated hardware and software, minimizing the attack surface.
  • The lockdown mode can be used to reject management ​operations to eliminate human errors and tampering.
  • AWS supports 89 security standards and compliance certifications, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST 800-171.

Convenient

  • AWS offers tools and services for quick start, such as AWS migration tools, AWS Managed Services, or Amazon Lightsail.
  • AWS Professional Services, AWS Support, and AWS Training and Certification support APN Partners at every step, helping thousands to build, market, and sell their solutions.

Scalable

  • Amazon EC2 instances can be scaled up or down in minutes, not hours or days.
  • The SLA guarantees 99.99% availability of every Amazon EC2 region. Each Region has a minimum of 3 Availability Zones.
  • Gartner recognizes the AWS Region/AZ model as a best practice for enterprise applications that require high availability.

Amazon EC2 Instance Types

  • General Purpose

  • General purpose instances balance compute, memory, and networking resources, making them suitable for diverse workloads. Instances belonging to this category are well suited for applications using resources equally, such as web servers and code repositories.
