Questions & Answers

Q: What are the three main types of storage services in AWS?

The three main types are Elastic Block Store (EBS), Elastic File System (EFS), and Simple Storage Service (S3), each serving unique storage needs.

Q: How does EBS differ from EFS in terms of usage and accessibility?

EBS allows for OS installation and volume creation, while EFS is network-attached storage for sharing among multiple instances without OS installation ability.

Q: What is the significance of S3 in AWS storage services?

S3 is an object-based storage service allowing web-friendly access to files, folders, and objects, serving as a foundational storage service in AWS.

Q: How do EBS snapshots and lifecycle management contribute to data backup and management?

EBS snapshots enable data backup by capturing incremental changes, while lifecycle management automates snapshots for data retention and backup tasks efficiently.

Summary & Key Takeaways

• AWS provides different types of storage services: Elastic Block Store (EBS) for OS installation, Elastic File System (EFS) for sharing, and Simple Storage Service (S3) for object-based storage.

• EBS is a block storage allowing for partitioning and OS installation, while EFS is network-attached storage for sharing among multiple instances.

• S3 is object-based storage accessible via web browsers or APIs, with files, folders, etc., treated as objects.
