Attach an Amazon EBS volume that you have created to an EC2 instance.

Use memory optimized instances to obtain fast performance with large in-memory workloads.

Launch instances in a placement group to cluster them logically into a low-latency group, or to spread them across hardware to reduce the risk of simultaneous failures.

Use compute optimized instances to deliver high performance for compute-bound applications.

Learn about enhanced networking capabilities on supported Linux instances in a VPC.

Lists the resource locations for each type of Amazon EC2 resource, whether global, regional, or based on Availability Zone.

Get console output to help diagnose problems and determine if you should reboot your instance.

If you experience problems or receive error messages during image preparations, review the following logs. Log location varies depending on whether you are running EC2Config, EC2Launch v1, or EC2Launch v2 with Sysprep.

Because your instance metadata is available from your running instance, you do not need to use the Amazon EC2 console or the AWS CLI. This can be helpful when you're writing scripts to run from your instance. For example, you can access the local IP address of your instance from instance metadata to manage a connection to an external application.

You can describe the key pairs that you stored in Amazon EC2. You can also retrieve the public key material and identify the public key that was specified at launch.
