We can use secondary storage for our difficult instances and it performs well.""The most valuable feature is its scalability. I can easily scale the block from terabytes to gigabytes.""When I have to change the operating system or delete a host, I can store the data in EBS or assign it to another host.""The most valuable feature of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its scalability."

"One key feature is that you can make buckets private, requiring pre-authentication and using a specific URL for access. Additionally, the buckets are encrypted by default. The flexibility of public or private buckets and how you grant access are vital security features.""The solution's most valuable features are its speed, unlimited space, and simplicity of use.""The most valuable features of the tool are scalability and security."

Cons
"It would be good if the solution added a button to increase the size and make the EC2 machine recognize the increased capacity of the EBS.""It is hard to access EBS volumes in different Availability Zones (AZs) because most EBS volumes are created in a single AZ.""There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment.""I think performance can be improved.""The initial setup process is easy.""The cost of using EBS is high compared to other cloud vendors such as Tencent Cloud or CARI Cloud. Some costs are generated immediately and some are likely to increase.""The setup could be easier.""In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB."

More Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) Cons →

"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security.""Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently. We need to troubleshoot to see if it's a user error or if the policy itself needs adjustment. It usually works after refreshing, but that inconsistency is a minor complexity.""The solution should provide more customization and the possibility of doing more manual tasks."
