Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) Primary Use Case

Pushkar Kodag - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Capgemini

We use dev tools. We had our own server for product development. For the dev environment, we use it for database servers as well as to share files between our teams. We also use EFS, like file storage. These were the primary uses cases for us.

Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is the hard disc for an EC2 machine. The EC2 machine is a server and needs hard disc space like a computer, and Amazon EBS is the storage for the EC2 machine.

When it comes to development environments, we have some applications that we deploy from those volumes. Sometimes, we use them for backups mainly due to limitations.  

So there are some clients who listen to set up that kind of structure in one availability zone.

We keep the data generated by the applications in the solution. We also store application logs. It is very easy to integrate the tool with the EC2 instance. I use the AWS console to integrate the products. Sometimes, I use CLI.

In my company, we use Amazon EBS whenever there are cases involving our servers having low space or there is some migration of servers required. We also deal with Amazon EFS often, but now we have an NFS tool for support. I use EFS very less since NFS is already present in the current products we deal now.

I provide updates from Amazon to my clients. If a client has Ubuntu Server that has EBS, and if the storage has less space, I directly connect my AWS account to add and increase the storage capacity of my client's servers, resolving the client's problems.

Every company is required to have its own servers, which means that every server requires storage. The need for storage depends on two kinds of storage, including Amazon EBS, which is a primary kind of storage. The file server or file systems and managing the objects inside require Amazon EBS as it is an important tool for day-to-day operations.

If the instance memory is too high, we must attach EBS volumes. I use the solution to attach and detach volumes.

We use Amazon EBS for its different business applications, basic file shares, and database. You could call it a SAN. I'm not sure technologists would call it a SAN, but I do.
