Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides block level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances.
EBS volumes are highly available and reliable storage volumes that can be attached to any running instance that is in the same Availability Zone.
With Amazon EBS, you pay only for what you use.
You can create EBS provisioned and throughput optimized volumes up to 16 TiB.
You can mount these volumes as devices on your Amazon EC2 instances.
Amazon Elastic Block Store provides block level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances.
EBS can be attached to any running instance that is in the same Availability Zone.
EBS volumes that are attached to an EC2 instance are exposed as storage volumes that persist independently from the life of the instance.
With Amazon EBS, you pay only for what you use.
You can mount multiple volumes on the same instance, but each volume can be attached to only one instance at a time.
You can dynamically change the configuration of a volume attached to an instance.
EBS volumes behave like raw, unformatted block devices. We can create a file system on top of these volumes.
