Using Amazon EC2

This section expands on the basic concepts presented in the preceding section (see Introduction to Amazon EC2), and includes procedures for using the EC2 components and features. This section also gives important details about some special types of instances (e.g., micro instances, cluster compute instances).

The procedures in this section include instructions for the AWS Management Console, the command line interface (CLI) tools, and the EC2 Query API. In the HTML version of this document, you can show instructions for a single interface. There is an interface selection menu in the upper-right corner of pages. Select your interface of choice to hide all others, or select All to show the instructions in all available interfaces.
