Understanding AWS Compute Services with Amazon EC2 and Storage Options
The use of computers has expanded exponentially over the past two decades. Most people have their own personal computer, tablet, smartphone, smartwatch, and so on. Today’s use cases, from running basic web applications to high-performance computing capable of processing massive amounts of data, place more demands on computing resources than ever.

These range from traditional server-based Virtual Machines (VMs) using AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) to containerization solutions (provided as both server-based and serverless models), through to fully fledged serverless architectures like event-driven compute services such as AWS Lambda.
