A compute service that runs virtual machines on demand, solving the problem of provisioning and paying for servers ahead of knowing how much capacity an application needs. It targets engineering and platform teams running applications, batch work, and development environments. It is delivered as AWS instances in a chosen region and instance family, started and stopped through an API, console, or command line, with per-second billing and reserved or spot pricing for sustained or interruptible work.
