• Many services provide a service for renting VMs
• Amazon has a service called EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute)
• You can rent VMs of different sizes and with different software
• Configure storage, networking, security and more
• You can connect to the server via SSH (Secure SHell)
• The EC2 instance is now a VM you own
• You can install software, run your own code. Pretty much do anything
