Introduction of EC2

● Resizable compute capacity

● Complete control of your computing resources
● Reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server
instances to minutes

➔ Amazon EC2 Facts

● Scale capacity as your computing requirements change
● Pay only for capacity that you actually use
● Choose Linux or Windows
● Deploy across AWS Regions and Availability Zones for reliability
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
●
Virtual computing environments, known as EC2 instances
●
Pre-configured templates for EC2 instances, known as Amazon
Machine Images (AMI)
●
AMI includes the operating system and additional software
●
Various configurations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking
capacity for your instances, known as Instance types
●
Secure login information for your instances using key pairs
●
Instance store volumes are used for temporary data that’s deleted
when you stop or terminate your instance
●
Persistent storage volumes for data using Elastic Block Store (EBS)
 EC2 (Cont..)
●
Regions and Availability Zones are multiple physical locations
for your resources, such as instances and EBS volumes
●
A firewall to specify the protocols, ports, and source IP ranges
that can reach your instances using Security Groups
●
Static IP addresses, known as Elastic IP addresses
●
Metadata, known as tags , can be created and assigned to EC2
resources
●
Virtual networks that are logically isolated from the rest of the
AWS cloud, and can optionally connect to on premise network,
known as Virtual private clouds (VPCs)

1. Elastic IP addresses for EC2-Classic 5

2. Security groups for EC2-Classic per 500

instance

3. Rules per security group for EC2- 100

Classic

4. Key pairs 5,000

5. Throttle on the emails that can be sent Throttle applied

from your Amazon EC2 account

6. On-Demand Instances Limits vary depending on instance type. For more information,
see How many instances can I run in Amazon EC2.

7. Spot Instances Limits vary depending on instance type, region, and account.
For more information, see Spot Instance Limits.

8. Reserved Instances 20 Reserved Instances per Availability Zone, per month, plus 20
regional Reserved Instances. For more information, see
Reserved Instance Limits.

9. Dedicated Hosts Up to two Dedicated Hosts per instance family, per region can
be allocated.

10. AMI Copies Destination regions are limited to 50 concurrent AMI copies at a
time, with no more than 25 of those coming from a single
source region.

 Auto Scaling
Auto Scale Group

●
Auto Scaling allows automatically scale of the capacity up
seamlessly during demand spikes to maintain performance.
●
Auto Scaling scales down during demand spikes is zero to minimize
costs
●
Auto Scaling is done in diff AZ bit not diff Regions

 Auto Scaling
●
Elastic Load Balancing automatically distributes incoming application
traffic across multiple Amazon EC2 instances
●
Provide tools to build failure resilient applications by launching
application instances in separate AZ's
●
Pay only for resources actually consume, instance-hours
●
VM Import/Export enables you to easily import virtual machine images
from your existing environment to Amazon EC2 instances and export
them back at any time
