AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) delivers secure, resizable compute capacity: your virtual servers (instances) in the cloud, ready to run any workload.

EC2 is your core compute engine on AWS, providing virtual machines—Instances—with configurations for any task. Choose from a massive catalog of instance types (e.g., C6i for compute, M7g for general purpose, P6e for AI/ML) to match your specific CPU, memory, and storage needs. You control the OS, security, and networking. Scale capacity dynamically with Auto Scaling, and optimize costs using flexible purchasing options: On-Demand, Reserved Instances, or Spot Instances. This is secure, reliable infrastructure, designed for everything from hosting high-traffic web apps to running demanding HPC simulations.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Fly, Snap, Know: Wiring Drone Data into a Predictive, Prescriptive Security Platform That Responds Before You Do](https://johannesburg.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_KeOgSIP594M)

DroneQRF is a drone operations platform built around one principle: the pilot's only job is to fly. Everything else is handled in the background. The Drone Pilots capture snapshots mid-flight; the platform does the rest — AI analysis of imagery, real-time parsing of flight telemetry and plans to predict potential issues and prescribe corrective actions, ingestion of deployment and fleet health monitoring, and a live dashboard giving full situational awareness across all active drones and sites. Nothing interrupts the mission. Intelligence surfaces automatically after combining these data points, before it becomes a problem.
