AWS Storage Services

S3

AWS - Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) is designed to integrate seamlessly with AWS products like EC2, with an emphasis on durability, security, simplicity, and speed. 

AWS S3 uses an object storage system, which replaces a traditional file architecture by storing data as objects and using assigned metadata for identification. This flat structure offers improved scalability and durability. S3 can store and retrieve almost any amount of data at any time using the simple and intuitive AWS Management Console.

EBS

AWS Elastic Block Store (EBS) is a flexible, scalable storage service that integrates with AWS EC2 to deliver affordable reliable data storage to meet almost any type of workload. 

EBS offers four different volume types designed to balance cost and performance, and users can change volume types, set custom performance parameters, or change volume size without disruption. New volumes can be encrypted by default, including volume backups, without impacting performance. Backups in EBS use incremental snapshots, which helps manage costs by not duplicating data.
