"Works reliably and as needed"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)?

They're easily deployable, attachable, configurable, scalable, movable, and reliable. My organization doesn't do anything fancy with them but we've had no issues related to EBS failures. The option to encrypt (along with the management features for encryption KMS) is convenient for our security-minded organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not elastic. Unsure if there is an easier way to operate via OS level or whatnot, but it would be nice to be able to scale down snapshots and AMIs to the minimum amount of space required rather than the native EBS size of the snapshot/AMI created. Otherwise, nothing else is wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
