AWS EC2 by Hour

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure compute capacity in the cloud. Amazon EC2 presents a true virtual computing environment, allowing you to use web service interfaces to launch instances with a variety of operating systems, load them with your custom application environment, manage your network’s access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as you desire.

OS options include Microsoft Windows, AWS Linux, RedHat Enterprises Server, and SuSE Linux. Amazon EC2 VMs come pre-configured with AWS EBS, including storage and networking options. Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is an easy to use, high performance block storage service designed for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for both throughput and transaction intensive workloads at any scale. A broad range of workloads, such as relational and non-relational databases, enterprise applications, containerized applications, big data analytics engines, file systems, and media workflows are widely deployed on Amazon EBS.
