EBS is secure, and the availability is crazy. I really like that it allows you to create snapshots, which can be backed up to a designated bucket in Simple Storage Service (S3). Very secure as with IAM security policies you can specify who can access the storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As everything in Amazon Web Services, it has a price, which is not part of the free tier. It can't be activated with CloudFormation (or at least I haven't figured it out yet). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a simple and stable way to handle primary storage across single or multiple instances. Having the flexibility to create snapshots and essentially duplicate an instance is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, it's a very good, utilitarian solution. The only negatives can that if someone doesn't understand some of the commonalities and intricacies of EBS, they may not understand how to configure for optimal performance. I assume a lot of people set up PIOPS EBS volumes and wonder about performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
