AWS compute

• Virtual machines
  • Amazon EC2: Resizable virtual servers
    • Instance families: General purpose (M, T, Mac), compute optimized (C), memory optimized (R, X, U), storage optimized (I, D, H), accelerated computing (P, G, Trn, Inf) and HPC (Hpc)
    • On-Demand: Pay by the second, no long-term commitment
    • Savings Plans: Lower prices for a commitment of USD per hour for 1 or 3 years
    • Reserved Instances: Billing discount for a matching configuration, 1 or 3 year term
    • Spot Instances: Spare capacity at a steep discount; can be interrupted
    • Dedicated Hosts: Physical servers for licensing and compliance
    • Capacity Reservations: Reserve capacity in a specific Availability Zone
  • Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling: Keep the right number of instances; target tracking, step and scheduled scaling
  • Amazon Lightsail: Simple virtual servers at a low, predictable monthly price
• Containers
  • Amazon ECS: AWS-native container orchestration
  • Amazon EKS: Managed Kubernetes
  • AWS Fargate: Serverless compute for ECS tasks and EKS pods
  • Amazon ECR: Container image registry with image scanning
  • AWS App Runner: Run web apps and APIs; closed to new customers
• Serverless
  • AWS Lambda: Run code without servers, triggered by events
    • Limits: Up to 15 minutes per invocation; 128 MB to 10,240 MB of memory
    • Triggers: API Gateway, S3, SQS, EventBridge, DynamoDB Streams and more
    • Concurrency: Reserved and provisioned concurrency
  • AWS Step Functions: Orchestrate services in state machines
• Batch and HPC
  • AWS Batch: Managed batch job queues on EC2, Spot or Fargate
  • AWS ParallelCluster: Open source HPC cluster tool; AWS PCS is recommended
• Platform
  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk: Deploy web apps while AWS manages the environment
• Hybrid and edge
  • AWS Outposts: AWS infrastructure in your own data center
  • AWS Local Zones: Compute close to large population and industry centers
  • AWS Wavelength: Compute at the edge of communications service provider networks
