"Recall that the two fundamental components of cloud computing is compute and storage. On AWS, a \"virtual server\" or \"virtual computer\" is known as an **Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instance**; sometimes it's called \"EC2\", sometimes it's called an \"instance\" to denote that the ability to build and terminate this server instantaneously, but they all mean the same thing. An EC2 instance is no different from a server that sits under your desk, or your local departmental cluster, or even your local HPC cluster. You even boot up an EC2 instance through the web console, install software and then shut down your instance just like you would a real computer, except that Amazon takes care of the physical machinery while you are in charge of process of creating the computer. In some sense, you can think of utilizing an EC2 instance as renting a server or computer from Amazon! \n",
