"Amazon Elastic Block Store ( EBS )"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

Amazon EBS is mainly used for EC2 instances for block storage kind of hard drive storage. And it is accessed fast and majorly used for boot/ root volume of instances with long term storage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

Amazon EBS majorly used for boot/ root volume of instances with long term storage. But it is only available for a single availability zone ( az). So if anything happens to the ebs volume the data is lost and once a size of ebs volume is increased, it cannot be decreased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) can become a bit expensive solution compared to the other options available and also accessing EBS in different AZs is not that straight forward Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
