Amazon EC2 is AWS’s elastic compute service: on-demand and reserved virtual machines across a global fleet.
Catalog categories: compute.
Catalogued capability areas: - Provisioning virtual machines/instances - Autoscaling and load balancing - Block storage and networking
This summary reflects the catalog record, not a complete product specification. Verify intended users, end-to-end workflows, supported platforms, edge cases, data handling, and constraints against cited sources. Treat capability labels as research leads until that verification is complete.
4 candidate projects in the landscape. A candidate may cover all, part, or none of what Amazon EC2 does — read the coverage and gaps below.
Self-hosted IaaS with compute (Nova) and networking (Neutron).
The main open IaaS.
Turnkey VM provisioning and management.
Simpler to operate.
Virtualisation platform for VMs and containers.
Single-cluster scale.
Private-cloud manager.
Lightweight.
Alternative coverage
Available. Self-hosted IaaS platforms cover the compute function.
The gap
Global capacity, hardware diversity and AWS’s managed service ecosystem are not reproducible.
This Markdown file is the coding-agent skill for Amazon EC2. Give it to your agent in your project; it guides research, reuse decisions, implementation and verification.
Give the Amazon EC2 skill to your coding agent in your project. Ask it to evaluate OpenStack ↗ against your needs, reuse what fits, then follow the skill's build and verification instructions.
Give the product skill to your coding agent in the project where you want to build. Optional starter workspace: rae build product amazon-ec2 --out ./amazon-ec2. CLI reference.
