EBS (Elastic Block Store)

  • What it is: Block Storage. Think of this as the "Hard Drive" (C: drive) plugged into your EC2 server. It is fast and meant for the operating system and installed software. If you stop the server, the data on EBS persists.

    • Constraint: An EBS volume can usually only be attached to one EC2 instance at a time.

  • Equivalents:

    • GCP: Persistent Disk

    • Azure: Azure Disk Storage (Managed Disks)
