Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud is a part of Amazon.com’s cloud-computing platform, Amazon Web Services, that allows users to rent virtual computers on which to run their own computer applications.
AWS launched its new batch of Arm-based processors in 2018 with AWS Graviton. It is a series of server processors designed for Amazon EC2 virtual machines. The EC2 AI instances support web servers, caching fleets, distributed data centers, and containerized microservices. Arm architecture is gradually being rolled out to handle enterprise-grade utilities at scale. Graviton instances are popular for handling intense workloads in the cloud.
Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing is the default option for computing on AWS. Outside of outsourced cloud computing options, it is the default service for building, running, and scaling AWS-based applications. As such, EC2 will likely be the main driving force behind AWS bills. Understanding how to control said costs is therefore the most important factor in managing your AWS environment.
When you’re bringing on 3rd party developers to your AWS environment, you want to make sure that you don’t give them too much access to your AWS Infrastructure. Our recommendation is to create a User Group, and then to add the 3rd party users to the User Group.
