What is EBS?
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is designed to work with Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances, offering block-level storage volumes. Each EBS volume behaves like a traditional hard drive or SSD, which can be attached to a single EC2 instance at a time. Unlike ephemeral instance storage, EBS volumes are persistent, meaning data is retained even when the EC2 instance is stopped or terminated. This makes it suitable for storing operating systems, applications, and data that require durability.
