Overview

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) forms a central part of Amazon.com's cloud-computing platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), by allowing users to rent virtual computers on which to run their own computer applications.

The Amazon EC2 Tasks in VisualCron use an Amazon Connection to supply the access key, secret access key and region. The same Amazon Connection is shared with the Amazon S3 cloud transfer Tasks.
