EC2 and container workloads

Choose a compute model before diving into scaling and performance details. These guides cover virtual machines, container launch types, workload profiling, and related developer tools. Use the monitoring topic when your main task is defining metrics or alarms; use migration and cost guides when you are moving an existing application or evaluating its resource use.

Choose and run compute

Build familiarity with EC2 instances and compare container launch types. The integration references explore supporting tools around a workload; they are distinct from the core instance or container setup path.

Scale an application

Begin with Auto Scaling setup, then compare dynamic and predictive behavior for the traffic pattern you are investigating. The high-availability article discusses scaling in a wider architecture context rather than replacing a complete recovery plan.

Investigate workload performance

Use workload profiling and monitoring together to narrow a performance problem. EBS bottlenecks, instance right sizing, and Fargate metrics address different parts of the compute stack, so choose an entry that matches the resource or symptom you can observe.
