The legacy lives on even though EC2-Classic and its flat network are no more
to retire EC2-Classic – the networking construct that underpinned its initial compute infrastructure-as-a-service offering.that the last EC2-Classic instance was shut down on August 15, marking the end of a near-17-year run.
"When we launched [Elastic Compute Cloud] EC2 in 2006, it was one giant network of 10.0.0.0/8. All instances ran on a single, flat network shared with other customers," Vogels wrote, adding that the sole EC2 instance type offered in 2006 was the m1.small, which offered"a virtual CPU the equivalent of a 1.7GHz Xeon processor with 1.75GB of RAM, 160GB of local disk, and 250Mb/second of network bandwidth.
Firing up one of those instances"exposed a handful of features, like security groups and Public IP addresses that were assigned when an instance was spun up." Vogels reckons EC2-Classic"made the process of acquiring compute dead simple, even though the stack running behind the scenes was incredibly complex."wrote when covering AWS's retirement announcement, EC2-Classic may be legacy tech, but it has created a cultural legacy. The likes of Netflix and many more since based their businesses on infrastructure-as-a-service.
The process of retiring EC2-Classic consumed just over two years. Many older techs persist far longer.
