AWS offers diverse storage solutions for cloud computing needs. Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) provides highly durable object storage, ideal for websites, mobile apps, backups, and data lakes. It scales automatically and supports various data types. Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) delivers persistent block-level storage volumes for EC2 instances. These work like traditional hard drives and are suitable for databases, file systems, and applications requiring raw block-level storage. Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) offers scalable, elastic file storage for EC2 instances. Multiple instances can access an EFS file system simultaneously, making it perfect for content management systems and shared files. Amazon S3 Glacier provides low-cost archival storage with retrieval options ranging from minutes to hours. It's designed for data that's rarely accessed but must be preserved for compliance or historical purposes. AWS Storage Gateway connects on-premises environments with AWS cloud storage, enabling hybrid storage deployments with local caching. AWS Snow Family includes physical devices for transporting large data volumes to AWS: Snowcone (small, rugged), Snowball (suitcase-sized), and Snowmobile (shipping container). Key storage concepts include: - Durability: The guarantee against data loss - Availability: The accessibility of your data - Scalability: The ability to grow as needs increase - Security: Data protection via encryption, access controls - Cost-efficiency: Various pricing tiers based on access frequency AWS storage solutions help you select the right combination of performance, accessibility, and cost. Each service addresses specific storage needs while integrating with other AWS services, allowing you to build complete storage architectures in the cloud.
