Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)

Amazon EBS is the perfect storage solution for all your data needs. Whether you're backing up your EC2 instance, archiving data, or storing it for future use. Similarly, for our organization, we used EBS for backing up our EC2 instances while having web apps deployed in the instances. And have used EBS as one of our primary storage options.

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.

EBS is well-suited for use as a storage option for databases, including relational databases, NoSQL databases, and big data analytics databases. EBS can provide high IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second) and low latency. EBS provides a high-availability storage solution, which ensures that your data is always available and accessible even in case of a single or multiple availability zone failures. EBS can also be replicated across multiple availability zones to ensure data durability. The scenario where I find it less appropriate is in terms of cost; EBS can be more expensive than other storage options, such as Amazon S3, especially for large amounts of data or for infrequently accessed data.
