Introduction to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
EC2 Overview
AWS EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service that provides resizable
compute capacity in the cloud. In other words virtual machine in the AWS Cloud
environment. It reduces the time required to obtain and start the new server in
a minute.
AWS EC2 also allows you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your
computing requirements.

EC2 Pricing Options
On-Demand
Pay by the hour or second, Depending upon the instance type
Reserved
Reserved capacity for 1 or 3 years contracts up to 72% discount on the hourly
charge.
Spot
Purchase unused capacity at a discount of up to 90%.
Dedicated Host
A physical EC2 server is dedicated for our use. Most expensive option.

What is Serverless?
Amazon Serverless computing is a cloud computing model that allows developers to
build and run applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.
42
What is Serverless?
Serverless Overview
Serverless
Serverless architecture is a way to build and run applications and services
without having to manage infrastructure. Your application still runs on servers,
but all the server management is done by AWS.
No longer have to provision, scale, and maintain servers to run applications,
databases, and storage systems.

Example of Serverless Services
AWS Lambda
Lambda is a serverless compute service that enables you to run code
without provisioning or managing servers.
AWS App Runner
AWS App Runner is a fully managed service that makes it easy to build,
deploy, and scale web applications quickly.
AWS Fargate
AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that allows you
to run containers without having to manage the underlying infrastructure

Introduction to AWS Lambda
How AWS Lambda works
The Lambda function is the foundational principle of AWS Lambda. There are options for configuring Lambda functions using the Lambda
console, Lambda API, AWS CloudFormation, or AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). We can invoke a function directly by using the
Lambda API or configure an AWS service or resource to invoke your function in response to an event.
✓ Function
✓ Tigger
✓ Event
✓ Application Environment
✓ Deployment Packages
✓ Runtime
