Summary

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides a persistent block volume that attaches to an EC2 instance like a physical disk. The EBS volume remains even when the instance stops, and can be installed freely between instances within the same Availability Zone. Through snapshots, you can make incremental volume backups for data protection.

Key points

EBS is the volume of the constant block for the EC2 instance
Volume bound to one Availability Zone
Snapshot stores incremental backups to S3
Type of volume adjusted: common gp3, high-IOPS io1/io2
