Amazon EC2

The Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) API is a web service that enables you to launch and manage Linux/UNIX and Windows server instances in Amazon's data centers. Giving users the ability to "compute" in the cloud, it provides users with complete control of their computing resources and lets them run on Amazon's computing environment. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing users to pay only for capacity that is actually used. This is a REST-based API. The SOAP interface was deprecated on 1 December 2015. The WSDL for each supported API version is available from the following URI: http://ec2.amazonaws.com/doc//AmazonEC2.wsdl
