Storage

Object level storage(DB) vs block level storage(S3):

  • block level

    • allows more fine tuned updates like to contact info

    • DB restrictions and organiztion allows complex and faster queries

  • object level:

    • will update the entire pic

    • no restrictions on data, can be huge files(up to 5TB)

Amazon EBS(Elastic Block Storage)

Block Storage

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is an easy to use, high performance block storage service designed for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

is a general thing like SSD backed for databases form No-SQL to SQL or hard disk backed for throughput intensive

EFS (Elastic File System)

Can attach massively parallel shared access file system to different EC2s, will be in the same subnet

Higher throughput and lower latency then S3
