The most valuable feature of the solution is backup...Amazon EBS is a very good product since it is very easy to enhance or increase and migrate your servers immediately, in a matter of seconds.

When it comes to valuable features, ease of use would be number one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is hard to access EBS volumes in different Availability Zones (AZs) because most EBS volumes are created in a single AZ.

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.

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.
