Elastic Compute Cloud

Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a cloud computing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows users to rent virtual servers over the internet. It enables businesses and developers to quickly scale computing power up or down based on their needs, offering flexibility without the need for physical hardware. Users can launch, manage, and terminate servers in minutes, paying only for what they use. This service is particularly useful for running applications, hosting websites, and processing large amounts of data, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution for various computing requirements.
