Lambda vs EC2 vs containers

What is a VPC: your own private network inside one AWS Region, example ThreeTierVpc 10.0.0.0/16.

Lambda vs EC2 vs containers Teams pick the wrong compute and fight bills or limits later. EC2 = you manage a server. Containers = package + orchestrate. Lambda = upload code, AWS runs it. Use Lambda for short event work. Use EC2/containers for long jobs, GPUs or special OS needs. 15-minute video encode → EC2 or ECS. Resize one image on upload → Lambda.
