[Med Educ. 2010 Home - Information Mapping Getting Started with Amazon EC2 Amazon EC2 is among the more potent items in Amazon's web services arsenal. You've probably heard of many of the other services such as S3 for storage and FPS for payments. EC2 is all about the "elastic compute cloud." In layman's terms, it's a server. In slightly less layman's terms, EC2 lets you easily run and manage many instances (like servers) and given the proper software and configurations, have a scalable platform for your web application, outsource resource-intensive tasks to EC2 or for whatever you would use a server farm. There are three different sizes of EC2 instances you can summon and they're all probably more powerful than the server currently running your blog.
