Опубликовано 23 апреля 2016, 16:57

AWS provides a range of Compute Services – Amazon EC2, Amazon ECS and AWS Lambda. We will provide an intro level overview of these services and highlight suitable use cases. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) itself provides a broad selection of instance types to accommodate a diverse mix of workloads. Going a bit deeper on EC2 we will provide background on the Amazon EC2 instance platform, key platform features, and the concept of instance generations. We dive into the current-generation design choices of the different instance families, including the General Purpose, Compute Optimized, Storage Optimized, Memory Optimized, and GPU instance families. We also detail best practices and share performance tips for getting the most out of your Amazon EC2 instances, both from a performance and cost perspective.
