We have been using the solution since we have deployed our applications on AWS. If we track 100 GB of EBS volume, we know that the total data collected from the application will not cross 100 GB. Sometimes, we use Amazon S3 for object storage. If there is any transit data, we store it directly in S3. Our EBS volumes are free most of the time. Logs mostly fill the EBS volumes quickly. We have an instance to monitor our Kubernetes cluster, and it fills the EBS volume very quickly. So, we have written a script to delete the older logs. I will recommend the solution to others. Anyone using EC2 must use EBS by default. It's very easy to use and integrate. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
For EFS, we mount some storage for the EC2 instance. There are many features in VPC, like internet gateway and NAT gateway. I will recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.
I rate Amazon EBS a nine out of ten. I advise others to understand specific workload requirements and business goals. If you are looking for a performance-oriented workload optimization solution, you can go for EBS.

My advice to people who are considering using EBS is to use the correct type according to your performance. If you want any additional features, you will have to pay more. You will need to deactivate or delete snapshots in order to avoid extra costs. You should monitor the performance as well. Overall, I would rate ETB an eight out of ten.

I would suggest that if a new company is not very busy, particularly if it's in the setup phase, it's okay to opt for something like EBS. This is because it is a cost-effective solution. You might not need to rush into overly complicated solutions, especially for additional storage. Therefore, if you have a limited budget, and especially if you're aiming to acquire the essentials, it's better to consider EBS. This holds true for me, especially if I'm making a recommendation. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten.

Amazon EBS is a very good product since it is very easy to enhance or increase and migrate your servers immediately, in a matter of seconds. Sometimes, we require a critical server to take backups from images for which we use a snapshot. EBS is a kind of hardware for keeping a separate drive in our box. We can connect to Amazon EBS directly whenever required, after which we can simply clean up the server. Amazon EBS helps in different kinds of scenarios, like backup, storage increase, and migration of the servers, and such related support is offered in the solution's services. Google has started offering some bundle kinds of products. If features offered by Kubernetes are made available in Amazon EBS, then it would be great. The bundle from Google can help if I want to implement a game product. In Amazon EBS, if a bundle similar to the one offered by Google is made available at a lesser price, then it would be good. Nowadays, there are instant requirements from our customers for which you can set up everything. Offering simple services in a bundle can be a good idea. The product has been in the market for more than ten years, and to date, the customers are dependent on the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
We use Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) on-cloud. Users can use the solution but should search a little about the kind of EBS services they offer. They should also know the difference between SSD and HDD. If you want to increase the space later, you can learn about it then. You don't have to know it beforehand. Overall, I rate Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) a nine out of ten.

Our team uses the solution but is less dependent on it because it serves as secondary storage. We do not have enough exposure to rate the solution's features. Based on our use, the solution is rated a six out of ten.

We're still using it on-prem, and it's just a matter of migrating to the cloud. The way I look at it, there are about 27 advantages to migrating to the cloud. There are one or two disadvantages, and these disadvantages can be overcome with money. It's one of those things where we're selective about what's getting moved by measuring it and characterizing it. Then we pick and choose what moves next. There are some tremendous advantages to moving up to the cloud, and that's the reason why we started this effort. Making sure that the effort would work and would satisfy where we were going was step one. Then step two was taking, picking, and choosing which workloads to move and when to move them. Then deciding if there are workloads that would never move. I'm not sure I think that's the case yet, but it's just a matter of time and budget. If you are thinking of getting Amazon EBS, I would advise you to characterize your priorities and incrementally measure the outcomes as you move the groupings of workloads over. Make sure that your predictions were the way it worked in reality. Then, measure the new reality, and verify with your users. Check whether the limitations and the disadvantages are acceptable to your users. If they aren't acceptable, then deliver the needed cost increments that would deliver upon that. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Amazon EBS an eight.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides persistent block level storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud. Each Amazon EBS volume is automatically replicated within its Availability Zone to protect you from component failure, offering high availability and durability. Amazon EBS volumes offer the consistent and low-latency performance needed to run your workloads. With Amazon EBS, you can scale your usage up or down within minutes – all while paying a...
