For quick accessibility and long term data persistence Amazon EBS is highly recommended. It is basically used as primary storage for file system, Db and access to raw unformatted, block-level Storage. It is suited for application which as random read/write as well as continues read/write. Data encryption can be achieved by launching EBS volumes as encrypted volumes. EBS encryption offers simple encryption solution. In my upcoming article put some lights on EBS encryption.Amazon volumes types fall into two categories.

SSD-backed volumes.
  • Optimized for transactional workloads involving frequent read/write operations, High IOPS and low latency.
  • Can be used as boot volumes.
HDD-backed volumes.
  • Optimized for large streaming workloads, bog data, log processing.
  • Cannot be as boot volumes.
Features of EBS.
  • SSD: You can modify Volumes size, Volume type and Delete on Termination flag.
  • You can’t decrease EBS volume Size when you modify its size.
  • EBS has 99.999 availability.
  • You can create Point in time snapshot of EBS volumes.
  • Snapshot of ENS volume can be done manually or Automated through Life cycle management.
EBS optimized instances.
  • EBS optimized EC2 instances enable the full use of an EBS volume’s provisioned IOPS.
  • They deliver dedicated performance between EC2 instances and their attached EBS volumes.
  • Are designed to work with all EBS volumes types.
