Summary

In this chapter, we learned about AMIs and where to locate them. We learned about the five general categories of instance types, their features, and suitable workloads for each. We discussed the storage options for EC2 instances, and showed how to attach these volumes when launching an instance.

In Chapter 3, Logging in to EC2 Instances, we're going to learn more about the key pairs and logging in to EC2 instances, and the difference between Linux instances and Windows.
