Frequently asked questions about EC2

Find answers to the most relevant queries to be able to make decisions right away.

What is Amazon EC2?

Amazon EC2 is a web service that provides resizable, scalable virtual servers for computing purposes. It allows users to run any type of instance (server) in the cloud.


How do I create an EC2 instance?

To create an EC2 instance, go to the Amazon EC2 dashboard and click on 'Launch Instance'. Select the desired operating system, instance type, and other configuration options, then click 'Launch' to start the instance.


What is the difference between On-Demand and Reserved instances?

On-Demand instances are charged by the hour, while Reserved instances provide a discounted hourly rate in exchange for a 1- or 3-year upfront payment. Reserved instances can be useful for long-term projects or applications.


Can I move an EC2 instance to another region?

Yes, you can move an EC2 instance from one AWS region to another using the 'Instance Move' feature in the Amazon EC2 console. This allows you to migrate instances across regions for various reasons.


How do I stop and start an EC2 instance?

To stop an EC2 instance, go to the Amazon EC2 dashboard, select the instance, click 'Actions', and then 'Stop'. To start an instance, click on 'Start' in the actions menu. Stopping an instance can save costs by not charging for it during that time.
