Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) Review
We are serviecing out customers implementation of in-house projects and SaaS product businesses for B2C markets. We are mostly dealing with object storages, especially for meta data dependent projects but for the large corporate use we experienced Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), which is targeted for Mission critical infrastructure. The scope was large corporate reporting systems, based on implemented ERP (SAP AG) to have precise and frequently updated reporting server and dependent on frequent update industrial infrastructure which needed low latency connectivity of devices.
- 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
- Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)does not fit for in-depth analytical systems having no internal data schema (metadata) applicable - so you need one more data base to map
- Pricing should be according to the space used for large institutional users (% of capacity)
- Fragmented data some times requers more sophisticated access versus API
- Binded server for system runing (no external access), critical for DevOps
- High load capability
- Fast input of data
- Fast access to the drive
- Java applications (FinTech)
- Net (Logistics Tech)
- SAP ERP integration capabilities
- Neutral. It is in business since of 2006 so it is more customer choise.
- Productivity. We noticed that apps based on Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) has more optimised code.
- We expect mix of object to block featured systems in nearest future.
- Localised infrastructure (RAID) went Cloud - 30% less maintanance costs
It is backed by most succesfull company in the field. They were one of the first to offer and we historically tied with Amazon Web Servieces product family. We appreciate their afforts and happy to serve our customers to implement their ideas in the cloud. Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is durable and our customers experienced less failures. Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is more spreaded in emerging markets of MENA and ACEAN regions we are present now, so you can easily find employees for support and serviecing of your application based on it. Amazon provides great support and related cyber security products that can easily may be used for protecting your cloud. Once you are merging or selling your app, is is easily to change API related and track dates of acting active to confirm ownership transfer date. The only thins is there is no API access, so needs more sophisticated knowledge to manage your infrastructure as a code.

Review on Amazon Elastic Block Store.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides block-level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. EBS volumes behave like raw, unformatted block devices. You can mount these volumes as devices on your instances. EBS volumes that are attached to an instance are exposed as storage volumes that persist independently from the life of the instance.
- high-performance block-storage service.
- Easy to use.
- Protect against the failure with almost everytime.
- Keep backups of your EC2 resources, including EBS volumes.
- Increase the through put is little bit hard.
- Restore the volume from your snapshot.
- Allow you to optimize storage performance and cost for your workload.
- SSD-backed volumes include the highest performance of the database.
- Elastic Volumes are a feature of Amazon EBS that allows you to increase capacity dynamically.
- It provides good service to our business, and we are happy to use this in the future as well.
- Elastic Volumes are a feature of Amazon EBS that allows you to increase capacity dynamically.
- Throughput intensive workloads and the lowest cost helps a lot.
Volumes range from cost-effective dollar-per-GB to high performance with the fastest IOPS and throughput. You can change volume types, tune performance, or increase volume size without disrupting your critical applications. EBS volumes are replicated within an Availability Zone (AZ) and can easily scale to petabytes of data. Build your SAN in the cloud for I/O-intensive applications. Run relational or NoSQL databases.

EBS is a great option for storage.
We are using this to Storage for our EC2 instances and customers information. We've been able to use this to scale up and down our storage requirements as the situation progresses. EBS backed instances can be stopped and restarted without losing any data on the EBS volume.
- Storage is simple to set up.
- Making backups is simple and quick.
- Problems with the network
- It can be difficult to figure out which volume type we require
- Switching between volume speeds is simple.
- Speed\Efficient
- Information security
- Allows us to back up and restore quickly.
- helpful to the company's growth
Amazon Elastic Block Store is an excellent storage replication solution. It gives you a quick and simple way to get all the storage you need, and you may alter it if you need more or less storage for your projects.

We are using Amazon Elastic Block storage to help us storage Amazon images as well as augment storage we are using in conjunction with our Elastic Cloud Compute machines. It's been great for us to utilize this to scale up and down our storage needs as the scenario is introduced. With a backup solution for our existing EC2 instances, we were able to cheaply manage and back up our fleet via scripting EBS information.
- A cost-effective way to provide storage to virtual machines
- Easy and efficient way to create back ups of images
- Very quick storage request and provisioning
- Cost can be confusing to determine
- The initial learning curve can be confusing unless you know what's going on with AWS
- You can lose track of EBS if you aren't organized
- Gives us an easy way to manage and move assets around VMs.
- Allows a quick and easy way to clone existing images.
- Gives us an efficient way to back up and restore images.
Amazon Elastic Block Store is a very good scaling solution for storage if you are invested in AWS. It provides a quick and easy way for you to easily get all the storage you need at and adjust it if you need more or less storage for your projects.
