"Amazon Elastic Block Structure in Cloud Computing"

 Amazon Elastic Block Structure in Cloud Computing(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.

What are features of Amazon Elastic Block Store?

Amazon EBS allows you to create storage volumes and attach them to Amazon EC2 instances. Once attached, you can create a file system on top of these volumes, run a database, or use them in any other way you would use block storage.

Which is a benefit of Amazon EBS?

Amazon EBS provides the ability to create snapshots (backups) of any EBS volume and write a copy of the data in the volume to Amazon S3, where it is stored redundantly in multiple Availability Zones. The volume does not need to be attached to a running instance in order to take a snapshot.

What is an advantage of elastic block store?

It offers high-performance storage for critical workloads. Amazon Elastic Block Store offers five different volume types that help you find the balance between price and performance that best suits your organization.

Benefits of using Amazon Elastic block storage Amazon (EBS):

You can change volume types, tune performance, or increase volume size without disrupting your critical applications, so you have cost-effective storage when you need it. Designed for mission-critical systems, EBS volumes are replicated within an Availability Zone (AZ) and can easily scale to petabytes of data.
