Elastic Block Store - (EBS)

• In AWS we have EBS for storing the data permanently

• EBS stands for Elastic Block Store

• In EBS we will create Volumes to store the data

• Volumes behave like raw

• We can attach volumes to EC2 instances

Two Types of Volumes

EBS Volume Types

• General Purpose Volumes (gp2, gp3) SSD: 1 GB - 16 TB

• Provisioned IOPS Volumes (iol, io2) SSD =>High Performance (4 GB 16 TB)- costly

• Throughput (st1) - HDD => Frequently accessed data at a cheap price (500 GB 16 TB)

• Cold (sc1) HDD => Not frequently accessed data with cheap price (500 GB 16 TB)

• Magnetic (standard) HDD => Previous Generation (1 GB 1TB) - old
