  • 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.

  • AWS using operational expenditure so basically it doesn't need to invest.
  • We can start from small so if we think it is don't suit the organization we can delete it, so it cost less.

  • In terms of ROI, I found it's really cost-effective since maintenance cost is not there. No need to spend extra money on the procurement of hard drives
  • On demand feature of Ebs is quite effective when you require extra storage you can allocate and pay as per your need.
  • Accessibility from everywhere and deployment of it across different geographical location.
