We performed a comparison between Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Google Cloud Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important feature is the volume types in those hundred EDS. For example, if you need a volume with high IOPS, you should choose an io2 or io2 Block Express volume type. The default volume type for EBS is GP3, which is a good balance of performance and price for most workloads."
"One of the most valuable was snapshots. There were scenarios in which the whole EC2 crashed, or we were unable to use it for some time, but the data on the mounted volumes were crucial to us. So, at that time, snapshots were very helpful."
"Amazon EBS is a storage system, and the storage is attached to the servers."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is its scalability. I can easily scale the block from terabytes to gigabytes."
