What are Instances in Cloud Server?
In cloud computing, an instance refers to a virtual server or computing resource that runs within a cloud environment. It is a virtual representation of a physical server, allowing users to access computing resources such as CPU, memory, storage, and networking capabilities.
Instances in cloud servers are highly scalable, as users can create multiple instances to meet their specific needs. Each instance operates independently, providing isolated computing environments and allowing users to configure and manage them according to their requirements.
Instances can be provisioned with different operating systems, software applications, and configurations, making them versatile for various workloads and applications. Users can launch, manage, and terminate instances as needed, providing flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in cloud computing environments.
