Overview

Amazon EC2 provides you with flexible, cost effective, and easy-to-use data storage options for your instances.

These storage options include the following:

The following figure shows the relationship between these storage options and your instance.

Storage options for Amazon EC2

Every time you launch an instance from an AMI, a root storage device is created for that instance. The root storage device contains all the information necessary to boot the instance.

Amazon EBS provides durable, block-level storage volumes that you can attach to a running instance.
You can use Amazon EBS as a primary storage device for data that requires frequent and granular updates.
The volume persists independently from the running life of an instance.
As illustrated in the previous figure, multiple volumes can be attached to an instance. You can also detach an EBS volume from one instance and attach it to another instance.
You can dynamically change the configuration of a volume attached to an instance.
EBS volumes can also be created as encrypted volumes using the Amazon EBS encryption feature.
To keep a backup copy of your data, you can create a snapshot of an EBS volume, which is stored in Amazon S3.
You can create an EBS volume from a snapshot, and attach it to another instance.

An Amazon EBS–optimized instance uses an optimized configuration stack and provides additional, dedicated capacity for Amazon EBS I/O.
This optimization provides the best performance for your EBS volumes by minimizing contention between Amazon EBS I/O and other traffic from your instance.
EBS–optimized instances deliver dedicated bandwidth to Amazon EBS

Many instances can access storage from disks that are physically attached to the host computer. This disk storage is referred to as instance store.
Instance store provides temporary block-level storage for instances.
Instance store is ideal for temporary storage of information that changes frequently, such as buffers, caches, scratch data, and other temporary content, or for data that is replicated across a fleet of instances, such as a load-balanced pool of web servers.
An instance store consists of one or more instance store volumes exposed as block devices.
After you launch an instance, the instance store volumes are available to the instance, but you can't access them until they are mounted.

You can specify instance store volumes for an instance only when you launch it.
You can't detach an instance store volume from one instance and attach it to a different instance.
The data on an instance store volume persists only during the life of the associated instance; if you stop, hibernate, or terminate an instance, any data on instance store volumes is lost.
If an instance reboots (intentionally or unintentionally), data in the instance store persists.
If you change the instance type, an instance store will not be attached to the new instance type If the number of instance store volumes in a block device mapping exceeds the number of instance store volumes available to an instance, the additional volumes are ignored.

Amazon EFS provides scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2.
You can create an EFS file system and configure your instances to mount the file system.
You can use an EFS file system as a common data source for workloads and applications running on multiple instances.

Amazon S3 provides access to reliable, fast, and inexpensive data storage infrastructure.
It is designed to make web-scale computing easier by enabling you to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from within Amazon EC2 or anywhere on the web.
Amazon EC2 uses Amazon S3 to store EBS snapshots and instance store-backed AMIs
Amazon S3 stores data objects redundantly on multiple devices across multiple facilities and allows concurrent read or write access to these data objects by many separate clients or application threads.
Amazon EFS enables you to create a file system that multiple instances can mount and access at the same time.

You specify the EBS volumes and instance store volumes for your instance using a block device mapping.
Each entry in a block device mapping includes a device name and the volume that it maps to.
The default block device mapping is specified by the AMI you use. Alternatively, you can specify a block device mapping for the instance when you launch it.
A block device mapping always specifies the root volume for the instance. The root volume is either an Amazon EBS volume or an instance store volume.
You can use a block device mapping to specify additional EBS volumes when you launch your instance, or you can attach additional EBS volumes after your instance is running.
The only way to attach instance store volumes to an instance is to use block device mapping to attach the volumes as the instance is launched.
Each AMI has a block device mapping that specifies the block devices to attach to an instance when it is launched from the AMI. An AMI that Amazon provides includes a root device only.
