A Tale of Creating Cloud Instances in AWS, GCP, and Azure
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud):
Description: Think of Amazon EC2 as the genie 🧞♂️in the cloud lamp. It grants your wishes for virtual servers instead of three wishes. No need to rub a lamp; just click and launch instances!
Key Features:
Scalability: Example: It’s like having a pizza place that automatically delivers more pizzas when your friends unexpectedly drop by for a movie night.
Instance Types: Example: EC2 offers a menu of instances — from the speedster for quick tasks to the heavyweight for those resource-hungry applications. It’s like ordering a sports car or a moving truck, but for your computations.
Pricing Models: Example: On-Demand is your pay-as-you-go option, like enjoying Netflix. Reserved Instances are like subscribing for a year, getting a discount — it’s the Costco membership of the cloud.
Operating System Support: Example: Just like a Swiss Army knife, EC2 supports various operating systems. Whether you’re a Linux guru or a Windows wizard, EC2 has you covered.
