Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)

We conducted an internal POC using Amazon EC2 instances that required fast processing of streams of data. Amazon EBS helped in this regard. EBS couples well with the EC2 instances, thus helping us achieve our goal. We used SSD volumes as we were working with NoSQL data. We were able to process the data coming from EBS and store the output in S3.

  • Instead of using S3 for storage, we can store the bulk of the data in the EBS, thus reducing our cost.

EBS provides both SSD as well as HDD-based block storage. EBS volumes can be scaled with ease as well. So imagine scaling up your EC2 instances when a lot of traffic comes in but need to store that high traffic of data somewhere for the instances to process. That's where the ease of scalability of the EBS helps.
