    EC2 instance is just another name of Virtual Machine in AWS world. When you create an EC2, AWS will create a Virtual Machine on some hypervisor server (physical server) placed inside a server rack inside a datacenter. – Ankush Jain Apr 01 '22 at 18:02

    "A VM on a server in an AWS data center" is the definition of an EC2 instance. – Mark B Apr 01 '22 at 18:24
  • There are some excellent videos on YouTube to explain Amazon EC2, such as: [AWS re:Invent 2019: Amazon EC2 foundations - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMMybKqC2Y0) – John Rotenstein Apr 01 '22 at 23:06
