In this article, I am going to talk about the various EC2 instance types available in AWS. EC2, abbreviated as Elastic Compute Cloud is an IaaS offering from AWS using which customers can provision virtual machines on the cloud using different combinations of CPU, RAM, disk and networking. There are many predefined instance types already available in the AWS console, which makes it extremely easy to spin up a new EC2 instance very easily.

As you can see in the figure above, when you log in to the AWS console, navigate to EC2 and then click on Instance Types. You can see all the different types of instances that are available within AWS that you can use depending on your requirements.
