Amazon EC2
The Amazon EC2 plugin lets you manage virtual machine instances and related resources on your AWS cloud account. It supports launching, starting, stopping, rebooting, and terminating instances, as well as managing EBS volumes, snapshots, key pairs, security groups, Elastic IP addresses, and regions. The plugin authenticates using an Access Key and Secret Key from your AWS account. Use this plugin when your workflows need to automate cloud infrastructure tasks like provisioning servers, managing storage, or maintaining EC2 resources.
