Amazon EBS

Amazon EBS enables you to create individual storage volumes and

attach them to an Amazon EC2 instance:
• Amazon EBS offers block-level storage.
• Volumes are automatically replicated within its Availability Zone.
• It can be backed up automatically to Amazon S3 through snapshots.
• Uses include –
• Boot volumes and storage for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
instances
• Data storage with a file system
• Database hosts
• Enterprise applications

 Amazon EBS: Volumes, IOPS, and
pricing
1. Volumes –
• Amazon EBS volumes persist independently from the instance.
• All volume types are charged by the amount that is provisioned per
month.
2. IOPS –
• General Purpose SSD:
• Charged by the amount that you provision in GB per month until storage is
released.
• Magnetic:
• Charged by the number of requests to the volume.
• Provisioned IOPS SSD:
• Charged by the amount that you provision in IOPS (multiplied by the percentage of
days that you provision for the month).
