Problem

When logging in to an Amazon Linux EC2 instance, one is greeted by the following MOTD:

What does this ASCII art try to convey?

Solution

Just assume part of the ASCII-art chars have been made invisible, whereas if you would in-hide them all it would look (more or less) like so:

____   ____   ___
| ___| /  __| /_  )
| _|   | (     / /
|____| \____| /___|


I trust it’s clear then what the answer to your question actually is:
EC2 … Get it now?
