Best Practices For Amazon EC2 Instances
The best practices for launching or choosing the Amazon EC2-Instance are mentioned below:
- Choosing the Right OS: While launching the EC2-instance you need to select the OS that suits your requirements which is where you want to deploy your application in which OS like Windows, Linux, and MacO.
- Cost saving: When you are going to launch an instance you need to consider the cost and try to reduce the cost for the organization choose the type of instance wisely depending on the requirement.
- Attach Autoscaling: When are you creating the EC2-Instance make sure that you attach it to the Autoscaling group by this if there is sudden traffic EC2-Instance will scale automatically depending on the load.
- Secure Instance: Secure the EC2-instance by configuring it in the VPC and managing the inbound and outbound rules and also managing the incoming traffic to the EC2-Instance with the help of traffic routing.
- Snapshots: Take automatic snapshots of the EBS volume automatically for certain intervals of time so you can back up the data without losing it.
- Attach EBS: Attach the EBS volume to EC2-Instance without depending on the root volume of the server if anything happened to the root then your data will be safe in the EBS volume.
- Attach Elastic LoadBalancer: Attach the Elastic load balancer to the EC2-Instances when there is sudden traffic the traffic will be distributed across multiple instances which will decrease the load.
Create EC2 Instance in AWS (Amazon): Complete Tutorial
EC2 stands for Elastic Compute Cloud. EC2 is an on-demand computing service on the AWS cloud platform. Under computing, it includes all the services a computing device can offer to you along with the flexibility of a virtual environment. It also allows the user to configure their instances as per their requirements i.e. allocate the RAM, ROM, and storage according to the need of the current task.
Amazon EC2 is a short form of Elastic Compute Cloud (ECC) it is a cloud computing service offered by the Cloud Service Provider AWS. You can deploy your applications in EC2 servers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. You configure the EC2-Instance in a very secure manner by using the VPC, Subnets, and Security groups. You can scale the configuration of the EC2 instance you have configured based on the demand of the application by attaching the autoscaling group to the EC2 instance. You can scale up and scale down the instance based on the incoming traffic of the application.
