For clients needing high database performance or involved heavily in analytics, Amazon EBS is highly recommended. However, for those not requiring high-performance database solutions or dealing with big data, it may not be necessary. I would rate it a seven out of ten.
Amazon EBS is the backbone of running instances, and most people are aware of using it. However, to cut costs, you must choose the right size when provisioning. Ensure your data's security by selecting the right encryption keys, AWS region, and availability zone to avoid duplicate work. Additionally, if your image is from the marketplace, read the instructions given by third-party vendors. If you use a global encryption key for EBS volume, ensure approval from your organization for global KMS key or EBS encryption key for your account. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I recommend not overutilizing or underutilizing your EBS storage. It's best to use what you need while leaving some room for backup. Additionally, new types of EBS volumes should be utilized for high performance and lower costs. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
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.
Learn what your peers think about Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store). Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: December 2024.
My advice for those considering Amazon EBS is to ensure proper configuration for optimal performance. Overall, I would rate Amazon EBS an eight out of ten.
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...
