Amazon EC2 Instances to Power Apple Apps

The last year brought a great piece of news to Apple application developers -there was a gift from Amazon Web Services (AWS). The giant announced its proprietary Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Amazon EC2 mac Instances rooting from Nitro hypervisor and Apple’s Mac mini hardware powered by Intel 8-gen Core i7 3.2GHz processor. The purpose is clear – improve user experience, smoothen data handling, and provide the best development practices to the engineers.


What is Amazon EC2 Instances and what makes it unique?


EC2 is a service through which one can create a server (Amazon calls it ‘instances’) to deploy a website or mobile application. On the market are ample hosts that can house your application, but Amazon EC2 comes with lots of features and possibilities -begin with a small instance, grow as you get more visitors.


EC2 is more scalable and adaptable compared to its peers in developers’ arena. If the app contains bigger data and requires ample space, you can increase the size of the hard disk; the cherry on the top is that you can use a load balancer on AWS within a couple of clicks. Select the balancer and simply add the instances – your job is done.


The commonest concern of webmasters and app builders is the hosting cost of AWS, but on the long run, taking the capability and scalability of EC2, it is worth giving a try. On the other hand, AWS constantly makes changes and improves its services by bringing down the costs wherever possible. It is for that very reason iOS app developers have wholeheartedly accepted Amazon EC2 for Apple apps development.
