Product Benefits

Compute is used to reference processing power, memory, networking, storage, and other resources required for the computational success of any program. For example, applications that run machine learning algorithms or 3D graphics rendering functions require many gigs of RAM and multiple CPUs to run successfully.

AWS offer the broadest choice of compute services with the deepest functionality, more than any other cloud provider. We offer choice of processors, storage, networking, operating systems, and purchase models.

AWS is the only cloud provider with compute instances that deliver 400 Gbps networking and has the largest global network with 210 points of presence connected by 100 Gbps trans-oceanic cables.

With On-Demand pricing, you pay only for the compute you need with no long-term commitments. You can use Amazon EC2 Spot to reduce costs up to 90% or to accelerate performance for fault-tolerant workloads.

AWS supports 89 security standards and compliance certifications including PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-2, and NIST 800-171, more than any other cloud provider.
