Create EC2 Instance on AWS Account

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. EC2 allows users to rent virtual machines (instances) on which they can run their own applications. These instances can be easily scaled up or down based on demand, providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
