Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) Reviews

I primarily use Amazon EBS for my storage needs and for creating backups. It is highly compatible with other AWS services, which allows for easy data storage and retrieval.

I have utilized Amazon EBS in different ways, and it has worked very smoothly and perfectly. There have been no disruptions.

Amazon EBS offers features such as cloud migrations and different deployments, which are incredibly beneficial in moving data from on-premises to the cloud. The platform is stable and can be replicated across different availability zones and data centers.

There are no current recommendations for improvement. However, implementing more AI-based capabilities could enhance the service.

I have been working with Amazon EBS for one and a half years.

I highly recommend Amazon EBS for enterprises and small businesses due to its cost efficiency and ease of use. 

I rate the overall solution ten out of ten.

In our company, almost every department is looking for specific features for the whole project. Right now, I have almost two years of major experience with AWS for the deployment side of our projects. Basically, my individual experience is almost two years for deployment in AWS' features. In our company, all of our departments deal with the tool's deployment module for the projects.

As there are some sorts of firewalls handling the load balancing part, we need to deal with Elasticsearch Loader for our individual deployment. We may specifically have to deal with multiple EC2 instances, and we may also need to integrate with these features, but specifically, this is the way the microservices work. We are dealing with some monolithic architecture for which we need to use Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store).

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that during the deployment, the tool indirectly provides our company with resources for our core side and cloud-based resources.

One of the major issues in the tool arises whenever it handles a large amount of traffic in the system, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have two years of experience with Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store). I am just a customer of the tool.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Regarding scalability, Amazon is pretty good at providing upgrades in solutions, and I think from Amazon's side, the features are enough for projects.

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

If one is easy and ten is difficult to install, I rate the tool a two out of ten.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours.

On a scale of one to ten, if one point is a cheap solution and ten points is very expensive, I rate the product price an eight.

Everything depends on our company's maintenance engineers, who work on it and utilize Amazon's architecture.

From the AI features that the tool provides, we have used translators. Right now, the tool is offering chatbots that are really helpful. Regarding the AI perspective, there are a lot of other third parties that are providing good features. Mostly, what my company does is that we develop custom models for our client side. There were a couple of AI models that third parties were giving out, and they were the best solutions on which we were totally dependent.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is the hard disc for an EC2 machine. The EC2 machine is a server and needs hard disc space like a computer, and Amazon EBS is the storage for the EC2 machine.

The most valuable feature of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its scalability. When you create an EC2 machine, you have to provision the amount of EBS. When you are out of space, you can increase the size of the EBS. Amazon EBS is not automatically scalable, but we have to scale it.

It is not very easy to increase the size. You can give a request to increase the size, and the size will be increased. But to actually make the EC2 machine see the newly increased size is a little difficult. You have to log in to the EC2 machine, do some commands over the terminal, and only then only it would be able to see the newly increased EBS storage.

It would be good if the solution added a button to increase the size and make the EC2 machine recognize the increased capacity of the EBS.

Amazon EBS is a very stable product.

Amazon EBS is a scalable solution. Only two people are using Amazon EBS in our organization.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

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.

Amazon EBS is used as a block storage solution, particularly for high-performance computing, databases, data management, snapshots, and backups. It's especially beneficial for organizations needing consistent high-throughput performance, such as those handling large databases or analytics workloads.

I primarily use Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) to host our cloud infrastructure on AWS. Currently, I'm using a disaster recovery solution, DRS, as the main stack. Additionally, I utilize several services inside AWS, such as EC2 instances, which are like virtual machines, and S3 buckets for storage.

Amazon EBS scalability allows for resource optimization and efficient infrastructure management, significantly impacting both our operations and those of our customers.

Amazon EBS is valuable because it allows you to store data permanently. It enables detachment from one virtual machine and reattachment to another EC2 instance. 

This feature ensures data portability, even if an EC2 instance is terminated since the EBS volume retains the same data and can be attached to a new instance. Additionally, it's scalable and allows for resizing, providing durability and high performance.

One area for improvement is the ease of scaling down the EBS volume. Having more flexibility in resizing, especially scaling down, would be beneficial. Automating the process of attaching a new volume to an existing EC2 instance would also be a valuable enhancement.

I have been using Amazon EBS for two to three years since I started my career in cloud computing.

I have not experienced any stability issues with EBS. It has been reliable so far.

Amazon EBS is highly scalable, allowing easy expansion of resources. It is straightforward to scale up, though more complex to scale down due to the need to migrate data to a new volume.
