Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
We use EBS to provision storage for our EC2 and our RDS instances. It allows us to quickly provision more space for our VM's and DB's. We can use SSD for our high-performance needs and regular spinning disk for servers that just need raw storage. We only have a few VM's and databases but are looking to migrate more in the near future
- Easy to provision storage
- Easy to choose between the different storage speeds
- Pretty cost effective
- The interface is always my complaint
- It can be hard to determine which volume type we actually need
- Ease of adding disk
- Ease of switching between volume speeds
- Options when it comes to SSD and HDD
- EBS has helped us to reduce cost in our on prem environment
- EBS has made it easy to move our DB's over to AWS
- It will be slower when accessing the DB's, but the tradeoff is saving time on configuration
