Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Awful licensing flexibility
It is awful to have a licensing stuck per product NAME and not for product CLASS. This means that if you purchase a "SLES for SAP SP5" commitment and you are currently running SLES for SAP SP1, you will be charged for SLES for SAP SP1 instances, since the commitment is not on the "SLES for SAP" but the version also count. In my opinion this should not happen, since the cost is the same and also the product.
Very disappointed.
Awful licensing flexibility.
I'll do my best to change vendor.
