A ‘bare-metal server’ is a computer server that is a ‘single-tenant physical server’. The term is used nowadays to distinguish it from modern forms of virtualization and cloud hosting. Bare metal is a computer’s hardware assembly, structure, and components that are installed with either the firmware or basic input/output system (BIOS) software utility without any base operating system.
Amazon EC2 bare metal instances are the virtual servers that provide your applications with direct access to the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor and memory resources of the underlying server. Amazon EC2 instance is a virtual server in Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for running applications on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment.
