EC2 Instances page in the AWS EC2 Instances view



An EC2 instance is a virtual machine in the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) that is used for running the applications in the AWS environment. The EC2 Instances page in the AWS EC2 Instances view provides an overview of all available EC2 instances. It lets you view capacity and decision support metrics at the instance level in EC2 instance views.

To access this page, in the TrueSight console, select  Capacity > Views > Cloud > AWS > AWS EC2 Instances. By default, the EC2 Instances page is displayed.
