Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud


 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment.

Amazon EC2 offers the broadest and deepest compute platform with choice of processor, storage, networking, operating system, and purchase model. We offer the fastest processors in the cloud and we are the only cloud with 400 Gbps ethernet networking. We have the most powerful GPU instances for machine learning training and graphics workloads, as well as the lowest cost-per-inference instances in the cloud. More SAP, HPC, Machine Learning, and Windows workloads run on AWS than any other cloud. Click here to learn What's New with Amazon EC2.

Reliable, scalable, infrastructure on demand

  • Increase or decrease capacity within minutes, not hours or days
  • SLA commitment of 99.99% availability for each Amazon EC2 region. Each region consists of at least 3 availability zones
  • The AWS Region/AZ model has been recognized by Gartner as the recommended approach for running enterprise applications that require high availability.

Flexible options to optimize cost

  • With On Demand, pay for only the compute you need. Gain up to 40% better price performance with AWS Graviton2-based instances or 10% lower costs with AMD-based instances.
  • Amazon EC2 Spot can reduce costs up to 90% or accelerate performance for fault-tolerant workloads such as big data, containers, web services, and CI/CD.
  • AWS Savings Plans offers savings of up to 72% on Amazon EC2 instances usage, regardless of instance family, size, OS, tenancy or AWS Region.

सब जाग रहे तू सोता रह………….

                                            सब जाग रहे तू सोता रह………….                                                                                       

 

सब जाग रहे तू सोता रह……….

किस्‍मत को थामे रोता रह ।1

जो दूर है माना मिला नहीं

जो पास भी है वो भी खोता रह ।2

लहरों पर मोती चमक रहे

झोंके भी तुझ तक सिमट रह ।3

न तूफान कोई आने वाला

सब तह तक गोते लगा रह ।4

लहरें तेरी कदमों में है

तू नाव पकड़ बस रोता रह ।5

सब जाग रहे तू सोता रह

किस्‍मत को थामे रोता रह ।6

धूप अभी सिरहाने है

मौसम जाने पहचाने है ।7

रात अभी तो घंटो है

बस कुछ पल दूर ठिकाने है ।8
इतनी दूरी तय कर आया

दो पग चलने में रोता रह ।9

सब जाग रहे तू सोता रह

किस्‍मत को थामे रोता रह ।10

माना कि मुश्किल भारी है

पर तुझमें क्‍या लाचारी है ।11

ये हार नहीं बाहर की है

भीतर से हिम्‍मत हारी है ।12

उठ रहे यहां, सब गिर-गिर कर

न उठ तू यूँ ही लेटा रह ।13

सब जाग रहे तू सोता रह

किस्‍मत को थामे रोता रह ।14

जो दूर है माना मिला नहीं

जो पास भी है वो भी खोता रह ।15।
