Amazon S3 is an object based storage and not a block based storage. It can be mounted on a volume but cannot be used as a boot volume. Moreover, it is not as fast as EBS. S3 is generally used to store objects for long term storage and not as a persistent storage on an EC2 instance.

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.

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.

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is a better option than Microsoft Azure Disk Storage for customers that require more volume-type options and cost-effective data archiving.

  • Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
Amazon RDS uses Amazon Elastic Block Store storage, so you can get similar performance and not have to manage a database server if you were planning to use RDS with a database.

Basically, we choose EBS because we are using AWS, we have already evaluated 3 cloud providers AWS, GCP, and azure. And we decided to use AWS because of some elements. Mostly because AWS has a native Linux operating system (amazon Linux).

The reason I selected Amazon Elastic block store is because of their fast and quick response, a wide variety of services that can be easily available on a single platform. Easy integration with different platforms through APIs, security, pay as you go, service on demand, and it's quite cost-effective in terms of other cloud platforms out in the market right now.

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.
