Amazon Web Services Terms and Abbreviations
A
AMI - Amazon Machine Image
it is a special type of virtual device that is used to create a virtual
machine in
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
It serves as the basic unit of deployment for services provided using
EC2
An AMI can be thought of as preconfigured templates for
instances. They package the bits
needed for your server (including the operating system and
additional software)

AWS - Amazon Web Services
:
A commercial public cloud maintained and
developed by Amazon since 2006.
It provides subscribers
with services both at the infrastructure level (virtual servers, storage resources)
and at the platform level (cloud databases, cloud middleware
software, cloud serverless computing, development tools).
To a large extent (along with Google Cloud Platform)
it influenced the formation of the cloud computing concept as a whole and determined
the main directions of development of the public deployment model.
For a long time it was the world's largest public cloud by revenue, in the second
half of the 2010s yielding that indicator to Azure from Microsoft,
while maintaining dominance in the infrastructure and platform services segments.

EBS
- Elastic Block Store
Provides raw block-level storage that can be attached
to Amazon EC2 instances and is used by
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
.
Amazon EBS provides a wide range of options for improving performance
and storage cost.
These options fall into two main categories:
- SSD storage for transactional workloads such as databases and boot volumes (performance depends primarily on IOPS)
- and disk storage for intensive workloads such as MapReduce and log processing (performance depends primarily on Mbit/s)
EC2
- Elastic Compute Cloud
A web service that provides computing capacity in the cloud.
The service is part of the infrastructure of
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
.
The service's simple web interface provides access to computing
capacity and lets you configure it with minimal resource costs.
It gives users full control over computing resources,
as well as an accessible environment for work.
The service reduces the time required to obtain and boot a new server.
With EC2 you can:
- Create an Amazon Machine Image ( AMI ), which will contain your applications, libraries, data and the associated configuration parameters. Or use preconfigured image templates to get started;
- Upload the AMI to Amazon S3 . Amazon EC2 provides tools for storing AMIs. Amazon S3 provides secure, reliable and fast storage for storing images;
- Use the Amazon EC2 web service to configure security and network access;
- Choose the type(s) of operating system you need, launch, terminate, or control multiple AMIs as needed, using the web service API or the various management tools provided;
- Decide whether you need to work in multiple locations, use a static IP or other options;
- Pay only for the resources you are going to consume, such as time or data transfer.

S3
- Simple Storage Service
a web service offered by Amazon Web Services that provides the ability
to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time from anywhere on
the network, a so-called file hosting service.
It first appeared in March 2006 in the United States and in November 2007 in Europe.
Amazon S3 is used by many other services for storing and hosting files.
For example, the Dropbox file storage and sharing service, the Twitter and Woot.com websites,
and the Minecraft game launcher.
