Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

VIRTUAL SERVERS IN THE CLOUD

Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a web service that provides scalable virtual servers in the cloud, allowing businesses to quickly launch and manage computing resources without investing in physical hardware. EC2 offers flexible pricing models, multiple operating systems, and supports diverse computing needs from web hosting to high-performance computing, enabling organizations to dynamically adjust their infrastructure based on computational requirements.

Rehost applications on Amazon EC2

Rehosting applications on Amazon EC2 involves migrating existing applications to virtual servers in the cloud without modifying the application's core architecture. This "lift and shift" approach allows organizations to quickly move on-premises applications to AWS infrastructure, leveraging EC2's scalability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness with minimal code changes.

Import virtual machine images to AWS

Importing virtual machine images to AWS involves transferring existing virtual machine disk files from on-premises or other cloud environments into Amazon EC2 using tools like VM Import/Export. This process allows businesses to migrate existing virtual machines directly into AWS cloud infrastructure, preserving configurations and enabling seamless cloud transition without rebuilding entire systems.

Rehost SQL Server Databases on Amazon EC2

Rehosting SQL Server databases on Amazon EC2 involves migrating existing Microsoft SQL Server databases from on-premises or other environments to virtual servers in AWS. This process allows organizations to move their SQL Server workloads to the cloud, leveraging EC2's scalability, performance, and cost-effectiveness while maintaining the existing database infrastructure and configurations.

Datacenter Consolidation

Datacenter Consolidation with EC2 is a strategic approach where organizations migrate multiple physical servers and data center infrastructure to Amazon EC2 virtual servers. This process reduces physical hardware footprint, lowers operational costs, increases scalability, and simplifies infrastructure management by centralizing computing resources in the AWS cloud environment.
