Happy 20th Birthday, Amazon EC2

Marking Amazon EC2's 20th anniversary, AWS recaps its evolution from a single m1.small instance type in one region in 2006 to over 1,200 instance types across 39 regions today. Highlights include the Nitro System, Graviton processors (now Graviton5 with 192 cores), Inferentia and Trainium AI chips (Trn3 UltraServers interconnecting up to 144 Trainium3 chips), EC2 Mac instances, Capacity Blocks for ML, and the new Nitro Isolation Engine using formal verification for workload isolation. The post frames EC2 as the enduring compute foundation underlying ECS, EKS, Lambda, Fargate, SageMaker, and Bedrock.
