• Key Concepts: 
  Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a cloud computing service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It provides users with the ability to rent virtual machines (VMs) on demand, allowing them to scale their computing resources up or down as needed. EC2 is a part of the AWS suite of services and is used for a variety of tasks, including web hosting, application development, and data processing. EC2 is also used in conjunction with other AWS services such as Amazon S3 and Amazon RDS.
  
  BC-CP-CF Cloud Foundry is an open source platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that enables developers to quickly build, deploy, and manage applications in the cloud. It provides a wide range of services such as application deployment, scaling, monitoring, logging, and security. Cloud Foundry is designed to be highly extensible and can be used with a variety of cloud providers, including Amazon EC2.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Amazon EC2, users must first create an AWS account and then select the type of instance they need. Once the instance is created, users can access it via the AWS Management Console or through the command line interface. From there, users can configure their instance with the desired software and settings. Once configured, users can launch their instance and begin using it for their desired purpose.

  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Amazon EC2, it is important to remember that instances are billed on an hourly basis. Therefore, it is important to shut down instances when they are not in use in order to avoid unnecessary costs. Additionally, users should take advantage of Amazon’s auto-scaling feature in order to ensure that their instances are always running at optimal capacity.
