Overview

Amazon EC2 provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Launch and configure virtual servers with complete control over networking, storage, and security settings. Scale automatically based on demand.

When to Use

Web application servers
Application backends and APIs
Batch processing and compute jobs
Development and testing environments
Containerized applications (ECS)
Kubernetes clusters (EKS)
Database servers
VPN and proxy servers

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# Create security group
aws ec2 create-security-group \
  --group-name web-server-sg \
  --description "Web server security group" \
  --vpc-id vpc-12345678

# Add ingress rules
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 80 \
  --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 443 \
  --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress \
  --group-id sg-0123456789abcdef0 \
  --protocol tcp \
  --port 22 \
  --cidr YOUR_IP/32

Best Practices

✅ DO

Use security groups for network control
Attach IAM roles for AWS access
Enable CloudWatch monitoring
Use AMI for consistent deployments
Implement auto-scaling for variable load
Use EBS for persistent storage
Enable termination protection for production
Keep systems patched and updated

❌ DON'T

Use overly permissive security groups
Store credentials in user data
Ignore CloudWatch metrics
Use outdated AMIs
Create hardcoded configurations
Forget to monitor costs
