Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) Actions
Description: Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) presents a true virtual computing environment, allowing you to use web service interfaces to launch instances with a variety of operating systems, load them with your custom application environment, manage your network’s access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as you desire. EC2 activities allows you to the management of EC2 instances improving efficiency while maintaining a high level of performance. Using these activities, you can optimize the use of the compute resources in a variety of circumstances.
The AWS EC2 activities are performed using Amazon's EC2 engine. They rely on a valid Amazon EC2 service account to work properly.

|
|
Creates a snapshot of an Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume and stores it in Amazon S3. |
|
|
