Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web-based service that allows businesses to run application programs in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud. Amazon EC2 enables developers to spin up virtual machines (VM), which provide compute capacity for IT projects and cloud workloads that run with global AWS data centers.

An example of connecting to Amazon EC2 through a virtual private cloud is represented below.
