EC2 stands for Elastic Compute Cloud.
EC2 is a computing service on the AWS cloud platform. Under computing, it includes all the benefits a computing device can offer to you along with the flexibility of a virtual environment.
It also allows the user to configure their instances as per their requirements i.e. allocate the RAM, ROM, and storage according to the need of the current task. Even the user can dismantle the virtual device once its task is completed and it is no more required.
