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.
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.

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.

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.

Amazon EBS volumes offer the consistent and low-latency performance needed to run your workloads. With Amazon EBS, you can scale your usage up or down within minutes – all while paying a...

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