Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) vs. Azure Managed Disks

It provides the optimized storage performance and cost for your workload and these options really work with SSD-backed storage and it improves the database performance. Keeping backups of your EC2 resources, including EBS volumes is a little bit tricky and its takes some more time and increase through put is also a tiring job to do.

When it comes to addressing the durability and sacilibity issues with high security and availibilty Azure managed disks might be one of the best options out there but on the other hand if your project is low budgeted you could explore other options as well, as Azure manged disks can be quite expensive.

• Raw storage capacity attached to your instance operative system
• Frequent data rewriting (mission critical for reporting)
• Low latency connectivity (14 reporting subsidiaries in different time zones)
• Videly spreaded for implementation
• Fast accessible drive
• Block storage are core for Java, Net mobile applications

• Improved reliability: Managed Disks come with built-in redundancy and automatic failover capabilities to ensure high availability and data durability.
• Improved reliability: Managed Disks come with built-in redundancy and automatic failover capabilities to ensure high availability and data durability.
• Flexible storage options: Managed Disks offer a variety of storage options such as Standard, Premium, and Ultra Disk storage, to cater to different performance and cost requirements.
• Easy to use: Managed Disks can be easily created, configured, and managed using the Azure Portal, Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, and Azure SDKs.

• Creating too much EBS can be disaster if you are not properly organized by tags
• In terms of pricing it's a bit on higher side.
• In terms of performance, there is room for improvement as sometimes reading or saving the data can be painful.

• Open source is nice but a bit confusing for many without the full technical background.
• Upgrades come but involve a learning curve which can be slow.
• Risk management often needs additional oversight which could be better integrated.

Amazon EBS is a great tool and fairly easy to use as long as you are familiar with the Amazon Web Service ecosystem. It allows a great way for you to move storage around easily and allows you to quickly provision storage as needed based on the business requirement. For us, it's easy to move between our EC2 images that had been linked with EBS storage between these Amazon accounts.

The support for Amazon Elastic Block Store is great as long as you can articulate your needs. Like most tools, there may be some back and forth before you find a support person that is knowledgable in the tool and can provide you with necessary insights.

So far I have only used Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) and Azure but comparatively [I] prefer AWS elastic Block store as its having more advantages than Azure and I found it quite satisfactory and it helped a lot for information storage. We are not looking for any other hosting provider at this time.

Azure Managed Disks stacked up very well against Amazon Elastic Block Store. In the End it really came down to the fact we are running numerous other Microsoft Azure products and Azure Managed Disks would fit nicely into that ecosystem. We had less ramp up for training and learning issues.

• When your application needs high IOPS storage, this is a great solution that will keep your business functioning.
• Without Amazon Elastic Block Store you could try spreading your data across several standard drives, but that introduces complexity and still has IOPS limits.

• With Azure Managed Disks, it is easy and fast to transfer data.
• The software offer amazing security features and we no longer worry about data security.
• The software is great for data backup.
