Compute for any workload

AWS offers the broadest and deepest functionality for compute. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) offers granular control for managing your infrastructure with the choice of processors, storage, and networking. AWS container services offer the best choice and flexibility of services to run your containers. AWS Lambda enables you to run code in response to events from more than 150 natively integrated AWS and software as a service (SaaS) sources.

AWS provides multiple ways to build, deploy, and get to market quickly on the latest technology. The AWS Nitro System, exclusive to AWS, enables us to rapidly innovate, which means you’re always building on the latest technologies. Get started quickly with Amazon Lightsail, a virtual private server for a low, predictable price, and serverless computing with AWS Lambda.

AWS offers significantly more security, compliance, and governance services, and key features than the next largest cloud provider. With the AWS Nitro System, security is built in at the chip level to continuously monitor, protect, and verify the instance hardware and minimize potential attack surfaces. AWS also supports more security standards and certifications than any other cloud provider, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST800-171.

With AWS compute you pay only for the instance or resource you need, for as long as you use it, without requiring long-term contracts or complex licensing. We offer automated recommendations to help you improve price performance as well as tools and innovative pricing models to further optimize costs. With EC2 Spot Instances you can save up to 90 percent over on-demand pricing for instances, or with Savings Plans you can save up to 72 percent across instances, containers, and serverless on a single bill.

AWS is the only cloud provider that distributes a consistent set of services from the cloud, to your data center, to the edge. AWS Outposts extends AWS infrastructure, services, APIs, and tools to any facility. Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) Anywhere and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) Anywhere let you run containers on premises using the same APIs and cluster management that you use in the cloud. AWS Wavelength enables you to run applications using AWS Infrastructure and services in AWS telco partners’ data centers to meet your low latency, data residency, and resiliency needs.
