Compute Solutions for Free on AWS
Product Benefits
Compute is used to reference processing power, memory, networking, storage, and other resources required for the computational success of any program. For example, applications that run machine learning algorithms or 3D graphics rendering functions require many gigs of RAM and multiple CPUs to run successfully.
Broadest and Deepest Platform
AWS offer the broadest choice of compute services with the deepest functionality, more than any other cloud provider. We offer choice of processors, storage, networking, operating systems, and purchase models.
World-Class Network
AWS is the only cloud provider with compute instances that deliver 400 Gbps networking and has the largest global network with 210 points of presence connected by 100 Gbps trans-oceanic cables.
Flexible Cost Optimization
With On-Demand pricing, you pay only for the compute you need with no long-term commitments. You can use Amazon EC2 Spot to reduce costs up to 90% or to accelerate performance for fault-tolerant workloads.
Industry Leading Security
AWS supports 89 security standards and compliance certifications including PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST 800-171, more than any other cloud provider.

10-Minute Tutorials
Start with these free and simple tutorials to explore AWS compute services
Remotely Run Commands on an EC2 Instance
In this hands-on tutorial, you will learn how to use AWS Systems Manager to remotely run commands on your Amazon EC2 instances. Systems Manager is a Management Tool that enables you gain operational insights and take action on AWS resources safely and at scale. Using the run command, one of the automation features of Systems Manager, you can simplify management tasks by eliminating the need to use bastion hosts, SSH, or remote PowerShell.
Create an Amazon Lightsail Instance
You can create a Lightsail instance, also known as a virtual private server (VPS), running an application like WordPress or a development stack like LAMP in seconds. After your instance starts running, you can connect to it via SSH without leaving Lightsail. Here's how.
Run a Serverless "Hello, World!" with AWS Lambda
In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of running code on AWS Lambda without provisioning or managing servers. We will walk through how to create a Hello World Lambda function using the AWS Lambda console. We will then show you how to manually invoke the Lambda function using sample event data and review your output metrics.
Set up a Scaled and Load-Balanced Application
In this tutorial, we cover the basics steps for setting up a load-balanced application when the Auto Scaling group is created.
