EC2 Instance Storage Summary

Let’s now review what we discovered in this part.

Summary

1. The first one revolves around the EBS volumes, which are temporary network discs connected to a single EC2 instance. [EBS]
2. They are assigned to a certain Availability Zone, and we can transfer data from one EBS volume to another Availability Zone by using the EBS snapshot functionality. [EBS]
3. AMIs have been discussed. There are EC2 instance images that are ready to go and have the tweaks we need. [AMI]
4. Additionally, we can use the EC2 image builder service to automatically create tests and distribute AMIs if we want to automate the process of creating an AMI. [AMI Image Builder]
5. We’ve seen the EC2 instance store, which enables us to attach a very high performance hardware disc to our EC2 instance this time.
   However, it would be lost if our instances were to halt or end. [EC2 Instance Store]
6. We would utilise the EFS service if we desired a network file system.
   We can obtain an NFS through the EFS service and attach it to hundreds of instances located throughout the region. Since it is now at the regional level, there is no more AZ luck. [EFS]
7. Additionally, we could employ EFS-IA, which enables us to transfer rarely used files into a lower cost tier, to cost-optimize our EFS service. [EFS-IA]
