Amazon EBS is easy to scale up or down as needed.
Vertical scaling can be achieved by adding additional volumes whenever the created storage is insufficient.
All cloud solutions permit scalability, and this is an important feature.

Oracle Cloud Object Storage is rated 8/10 for stability, consistently available and free of major issues or problems.

I have never had problems with its stability.
If the server is stable, then EBS is stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Amazon EBS requires improvements in cost, scalability, latency, UI, and user experience, including auto-scaling and support.
Oracle Cloud needs better security, fewer glitches, customizable tasks, multi-cloud integration, and enhanced performance to improve Object Storage.
I would like EBS to have no limitations, similar to stream-like block storage, which can accommodate an unlimited amount of sales.
Deployment is not easy as it requires server downtime to map newly created volumes, impacting operations during additional volume additions.
There is a challenge of intermittent reachability with instances, where the product is sometimes available and other times not, which affects the development environment's stability.
 

Setup Cost

Amazon EBS offers flexible pricing but can be costly without careful management, especially for high IOPS or large snapshots.
Oracle Cloud Object Storage is seen as costly for disaster recovery, with flexible payment options and potential savings over on-premises solutions.
For SSD IOPS, you only pay $0.125 per gigabyte.
The pay-for-what-you-use model justifies the amount paid, with no extra or hidden charges.
Users are charged only for the data used, not for the allocated volume.
 

Valuable Features

Amazon EBS provides scalable, flexible, and secure storage with high performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness, supporting diverse workloads efficiently.
Amazon EBS is also scalable and provides high availability.
EBS provides vertical scaling options to add additional volumes when more storage is required.
Amazon EBS allows seamless changes to the instance type without affecting application availability.

Effortless disk expansion enhances EC2 efficiency with a straightforward setup
In a traditional setup, if you want to add a disk to legacy systems, you need to purchase, find the hardware vendor, and insert it, which is a lengthy procedure. With Amazon EBS, if you want to add an additional disk to an EC2 instance, you can simply attach an EBS volume by clicking through a few options, and it's done.

Useful for businesses to archive their information
I don't use the tool directly. Based on what my team says, from one to ten, if one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the product's initial setup phase as a nine. A technical person took care of the product's installation phase. The solution is deployed on the private and public clouds. The tool is majorly deployed on a private cloud. I use the cloud services from Microsoft Azure. The solution can be deployed in a period of two years. For deployment in the infrastructure, we had five people who are infrastructure specialists. About twenty people needed development, and the team consisted of analysts and specialists. For infrastructure, there were five people as specialists for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Though we use too much of Azure, OCI is the biggest product for our company. Azure is managed by a medium number of people. There are five people to take care of the clouds.
