EC2
The elastic cloud server service offered by AWS, supporting multiple instance types and GPU-accelerated computing, widely used for model inference and training.
Timeline (last 90 days)
SSM Run Command allows shell commands to be sent to EC2 instances without opening inbound ports or requiring SSH keys; the principle is that the pre-installed SSM Agent on the instance proactively establishes a long-lived connection to the SSM service.
A single call to list_backends completes five AWS queries within 0.78 seconds (one EC2 query in each of four regions plus one SageMaker query), with each running instance adding one additional SSM query.
Renting the same 48 GB card on-demand from the nearest AWS region costs approximately $60,000 over three years; a three-year EC2 Instance Savings Plan (full upfront) costs approximately $22,600.
AWS offers EC2 instances equipped with NVIDIA GPUs, as well as its proprietary Trainium (training) and Inferentia (inference) chips.
The system's core computation uses Amazon ECS paired with EC2 GPU capacity providers, enabling GPU instances to scale on demand rather than remaining always on.
The mainstream deployment paths for AI Agents include three options: local deployment of open-source models, self-built deployment on AWS cloud, and managed API services.
In 2006, AWS launched the EC2 service, establishing virtual machines as the fundamental resource unit of cloud computing.
S3 was released in 2006 before EC2 (launched in August 2006) and was one of the first services publicly released by AWS.
AWS launched S3 and EC2 in 2006, upon which companies such as Slack, Airbnb, and Netflix were born.
For video CV processing at the MVP stage, it is recommended to use ECS + EC2 GPU instances (such as the g4dn/g5 series) combined with SQS for task pulling.
