Summary

In this chapter, you learned about compute services available in AWS, which will help you choose the right to compute per your workload requirement. You learned about why terms changed to compute from servers recently due to the broad set of options provided by the cloud.

The most popular compute service is EC2 which is the foundation for the rest of the services offered in AWS. For example, a service such as Amazon SageMaker or Amazon DynamoDB under the hood relies on core services such as EC2. You learned about various EC2 families, pricing models, and advantage.

There are so many EC2 options available, which may be confusing when it comes to achieving the best cost model. You learned about AWS compute optimization, which can help you choose the right to compute and optimize cost. You further learned about Amazon Machine Image, which helps you choose the operating system for your workload and spin-up EC2 per your need. Further, you learned about EC2 best practices.
