"Great for disaster recovery and pre-baked AMI's"
4/5
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

Amazon EBS is one of the essential service that you will be using for your day to day cloud computing services. Not only I use this for a block storage service also I use this to keep snapshot of particular state of data. Also it is very useful in disaster recovery scenarios and can be templated to golden snapshots for using n creating pre-baked AMI's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
