Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a cornerstone of modern cloud computing, enabling businesses to run applications and databases on virtual servers with scalable compute capacity. For database professionals, AWS EC2 offers the flexibility, control, and performance needed to deploy, manage, and optimize database environments in the cloud.
Key Concepts: What is AWS EC2 and Why It Matters
AWS EC2 allows users to launch and manage virtual servers, known as instances, in various configurations tailored to different workloads. Whether you're hosting MySQL, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL, EC2 provides customizable instance types, elastic load balancing, and integration with EBS (Elastic Block Store) for persistent storage. Key use cases include setting up high-availability database clusters, automating backups, and scaling compute resources based on demand. Its seamless integration with other AWS services makes EC2 a go-to platform for database hosting and performance tuning.
