Overview
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Block Store (EBS) is an essential component for cloud computing, offering persistent block storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances. In this tutorial, we’ll explore how EBS provides highly available, highly durable storage that can be attached to EC2 instances and used as primary storage for databases, file systems, and other applications requiring consistent block-level storage.
