### EC2 Basics
- 📒 [Homepage](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) ∙ [Documentation](https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/ec2/) ∙ [FAQ](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/) ∙ [Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/) (see also [ec2instances.info](http://www.ec2instances.info/)\)

These “instances” and can run [most Linux, BSD, and Windows operating systems](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#What_operating_system_environments_are_supported). Internally, they use [Xen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xen) virtualization.
