Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides block-level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. EBS volumes behave like raw, unformatted block devices. You can mount these volumes as devices on your instances. EBS volumes that are attached to an instance are exposed as storage volumes that persist independently from the life of the instance.
  • high-performance block-storage service.
  • Easy to use.
  • Protect against the failure with almost everytime.
  • Keep backups of your EC2 resources, including EBS volumes.
  • Increase the through put is little bit hard.
  • Restore the volume from your snapshot.
  • Allow you to optimize storage performance and cost for your workload.
  • SSD-backed volumes include the highest performance of the database.
  • Elastic Volumes are a feature of Amazon EBS that allows you to increase capacity dynamically.
  • It provides good service to our business, and we are happy to use this in the future as well.
  • Elastic Volumes are a feature of Amazon EBS that allows you to increase capacity dynamically.
  • Throughput intensive workloads and the lowest cost helps a lot.
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.

It provides the optimized storage performance and cost for your workload and these options really work with SSD-backed storage and it improves the database performance. Keeping backups of your EC2 resources, including EBS volumes is a little bit tricky and its takes some more time and increase through put is also a tiring job to do.
