ABOUT AMAZON EC2:

amazon ec2 is nothing but a an operating system with certain ram space provided. amazon ec2 ( elastic cloud computing) has two types of ec2 i.e, instance store instance and boot instance the difference between them is, instance store instance is provided with certain GB of hard disk space and we have to pay the until it is used. where as boot instance is that we will mount certain amount of EBS(elastic block storage)  in this we have to pay for the disk space used and maintained but the main thing is that, in boot instance the service can be started and stopped. when it is stopped we will not get bill for it, but whereas in instance store instance when it is stopped it will be terminated permanently. In amazon the instance are of micro, small, medium ,large, extra large. In this the different operating systems are used as ec2. the charges will be more for windows when compared to flavours of unix operating systems
