Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a service from Amazon Web Services that provides virtual computers, called instances, over the internet. These instances can run applications, host websites, or process data—similar to having a physical server, but in the cloud. EC2 offers flexibility by allowing users to easily scale resources up or down based on their needs, paying only for what they use. It’s like renting a computer that can grow or shrink according to your project requirements, providing reliable and on-demand computing power without the need to manage physical hardware.
