EC2 Instance Architecture

Explanation
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides resizable virtual servers that run applications in the cloud. EC2 instances are created from Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and are launched within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Each instance type defines a combination of CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity optimized for different workloads. EC2 supports multiple purchasing models—On-Demand, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Spot Instances—to balance flexibility and cost. High availability is achieved by distributing instances across multiple Availability Zones and scaling horizontally using Auto Scaling groups.

Example
A backend service is deployed on EC2 instances using a Linux AMI. Instances are placed in multiple Availability Zones behind a load balancer. Auto Scaling increases the number of instances during peak traffic and reduces them during off-peak hours. EBS volumes store application data persistently. Security groups restrict inbound traffic to required ports only. The system remains available and cost-efficient under varying load.

Use Cases
• Lift-and-shift migration of legacy applications
• Custom software requiring OS-level control
• Batch processing workloads
• Development and testing environments
