Elastic Compute Cloud - EC2:
----------------------------
--> EC2 is AWS managed Highly Available Service, which can offers resizable compute
capacity in the cloud
--> EC2 can provide a Virtual Machine (Server), also known as EC2 Instance
--> AWS uses Virtualization to provide the EC2 instances
- Citrix Xen Server
- Nitro Based Virtualization
--> EC2 is Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which can provide Infrastructre.
- CPU
- RAM
- Storage
- Networking
- Power Supply
--> Infrastructre will be maintained and managed by AWS.
--> EC2 provides 99.99% Availability
--> EC2 offers the below for INstance Creation
- Purchasing Model
- Tenancy Model
- Instance Family
Purchasing Models:
------------------
--> EC2 Offers 3 types of Purchaisng Models
1. On-Demand
2. Reserved
3. Spot
On-Demand:
----------
--> It is the Flexible Purchasing Model for EC2
--> No Commitment - we can create and delete the instance at any time and we wil be
charged only for the tenure we have used our EC2 instance
--> EC2 instance Capacity (CPU, RAM & Networking) Can be resized at any time
without any data loss
--> EC2 instances will be charged Per hour (while they are running)
--> No Upfront Charges ( No Advance)
Reserved instances:
-------------------
--> If the Requirement of the EC2 instance is gauranteed for 1 Year or 3 Years,
then it is recomended to go for Reserved Instances
--> In The reserved Instances, we have to provide a commitment of 1 Year or 3
Years.
--> Irrespective of the Instance usage, AWS will charge you for the committed time
duration
--> In the reserved instances, we need to choose a payment plan for the bill
payment.
--> EC2 offers the Below Payment plans
- No Upfront --> No need to make any advance payment (pay on Monthly)
- Partial Upfront --> 50% of the total cost of the reserved instance usage
must be paid as advance, and the remaining to be paid monthly
- Full Upfront --> 100% of the total cost must be paid as an advance.
--> Based on the Term Commitment & Payment plan, you can get upto 70% Discount.
--> During the Committed period you cannot resize the capacity of the instances
NOTE: Reserved Instance offers 2 types
- Standard --> We cannot adjust the Capacity of the instances
- Convertible --> It will allow you to increase the capacity whenever we need
Spot Instance:
--------------
--> SPot Instances can be offered using the spare resources availabel on AWS
Datacenters
--> Spot instances offers upto 90% Discount.
--> Spot instances can be terminated (Deleted) at any time with just 2 minutes
notice and all the data will be lost.
--> Spot instances are not recommended for Prod or Developemnt purpose
--> Spot instances can be used for testing purpose or for the application which can
run with interuptions
Tenancy option:
---------------
--> Based on how we place our Instance, there are3 types of Tenancy Models
available
- Shared
- Dedicated Instance
- Dedicated Host
Shared:
-------
--> We can share the Physical Server with other customers, our EC2 instances are
Virtually Isolated. No one can see our data.
Dedicated Instance:
-------------------
--> Every customer wil get their dedicated Hardware (storage), so that we cant
share the physical hardware with other customers
Dedicated Host:
---------------
--> Dedicate Host wil provide a physical server for the requirement.
--> If your software license is based on the no of Physical CPUs, then we must have
a dedicated host to fullfil the Licensing requiremnts.
Instance Families:
------------------
--> AWS EC2 offers Different Instance families for different use cases
- General Purpose
- Compute Optimized
- Accelerated COmputing
- Memory Optimized
- Storage Optimized
- HPC - High Performance Computing
General Purpose:
----------------
--> General purpose instances provide a balance of compute, memory and networking
resources.
Compute Optimized:
------------------
--> Compute Optimized instances are ideal for compute bound applications that
benefit from high performance processors.
Accelerated COmputing:
----------------------
--> Accelerated computing instances use hardware accelerators, or co-processors, to
perform functions, such as floating point number calculations, graphics processing,
or data pattern matching, more efficiently than is possible in software running on
CPUs.
--> Accelerated Computing offers GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) in the instance
Family, which is recommended for the applications such as
- Machine Learning
- 3D Rendering
- Video Editing Tools
Storage Optimized:
-------------------
--> Storage optimized instances are designed for workloads that require high,
sequential read and write access to very large data sets
ex: Data Analytics
Memory Optimized:
-----------------
--> Memory optimized instances are designed to deliver fast performance for
workloads that process large data sets in memory.
ex: Databases, In-Memory Cache
HPC Optimized:
--------------
--> are designed for compute-intensive high performance computing (HPC) workloads,
such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), weather forecasting, and molecular
dynamics.
--> While Creating the EC2 instance we have to select the Instance Type to choose
the following
- Instance Family
- Size of the EC2 instance (Resource)
ex: C7gn.xlarge
C --> Instance Family
7 --> Generation
g --> Processor
n --> Additonal Capacity
xlarge --> Instance Size

--> EC2 offers, Windows, Linux and MAC operating Systems
--> EC2 is 12 Months Free tier eligible
- Upto 750 Hours Per month
- t2.micro or t3.micro
