Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) Reviews

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.

The most valuable feature of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its scalability. When you create an EC2 machine, you have to provision the amount of EBS. When you are out of space, you can increase the size of the EBS. Amazon EBS is not automatically scalable, but we have to scale it.

It is not very easy to increase the size. You can give a request to increase the size, and the size will be increased. But to actually make the EC2 machine see the newly increased size is a little difficult. You have to log in to the EC2 machine, do some commands over the terminal, and only then only it would be able to see the newly increased EBS storage.

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.

Amazon EBS is a very stable product.

Amazon EBS is a scalable solution. Only two people are using Amazon EBS in our organization.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

We use Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) on-cloud. Users can use the solution but should search a little about the kind of EBS services they offer. They should also know the difference between SSD and HDD. If you want to increase the space later, you can learn about it then. You don't have to know it beforehand.

Overall, I rate Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) a nine out of ten.

A use case for Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is storage when users want to have a disk attached. In cases where file services access is needed, we use EFS instead.

Based on my extensive experience with Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store), the measurable benefits include superior I/O performance when hosting databases on servers.

The Snapshot functionality of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is particularly useful. When performing activities, taking snapshots serves as a first level of defense for backup purposes.

Another significant benefit of Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is its superior I/O performance when hosting databases on servers.

Amazon could improve Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) by making it faster.

I have been working with Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) for five years.

Positive

The initial setup for Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is simple and not complex.

When comparing Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) and Azure block storage, there is not any noticeable difference as both perform similarly.

I need to consider additional functions for Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) as I am not currently certain about them.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) an eight.

In our company, almost every department is looking for specific features for the whole project. Right now, I have almost two years of major experience with AWS for the deployment side of our projects. Basically, my individual experience is almost two years for deployment in AWS' features. In our company, all of our departments deal with the tool's deployment module for the projects.

As there are some sorts of firewalls handling the load balancing part, we need to deal with Elasticsearch Loader for our individual deployment. We may specifically have to deal with multiple EC2 instances, and we may also need to integrate with these features, but specifically, this is the way the microservices work. We are dealing with some monolithic architecture for which we need to use Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store).

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that during the deployment, the tool indirectly provides our company with resources for our core side and cloud-based resources.

One of the major issues in the tool arises whenever it handles a large amount of traffic in the system, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have two years of experience with Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store). I am just a customer of the tool.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Regarding scalability, Amazon is pretty good at providing upgrades in solutions, and I think from Amazon's side, the features are enough for projects.

I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

If one is easy and ten is difficult to install, I rate the tool a two out of ten.

The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours.

On a scale of one to ten, if one point is a cheap solution and ten points is very expensive, I rate the product price an eight.

Everything depends on our company's maintenance engineers, who work on it and utilize Amazon's architecture.

From the AI features that the tool provides, we have used translators. Right now, the tool is offering chatbots that are really helpful. Regarding the AI perspective, there are a lot of other third parties that are providing good features. Mostly, what my company does is that we develop custom models for our client side. There were a couple of AI models that third parties were giving out, and they were the best solutions on which we were totally dependent.

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

We use EBS Elastic Block Store for data storage.

EBS can handle Apex, which helps us manage many issues. EBS is easy to use and has high performance.

There are limitations in sharing resources across multiple regions and availability zones. I recommend improving EBS by introducing multi-availability zone support to enhance its functionality. 

I have been using EBS Elastic Block Store for one year.

I rate its stability an eight out of ten.

I rate its scalability an eight out of ten.

We've used Google Cloud Storage in addition to Amazon EBS.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes around five seconds. I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

In terms of ROI, using Amazon EBS has helped save time and resources due to its ease of use and scalability.

I find the price reasonable for our environment. 

My advice for those considering Amazon EBS is to ensure proper configuration for optimal performance.

Overall, I would rate Amazon EBS an eight out of ten.

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

The tool has different types of volumes, like SSD and HDD. We can attach multiple attachments to EBS volumes and Elastic Volumes. The tool has many features. We can integrate EBS with the EC2 instances manually through the Amazon portal.

The initial setup is not easy.

I used the solution six months ago.

The tool is stable.

It is difficult for freshers to set up the tool. We must understand the purpose and the requirements before we do the setup.

I am using Azure Storage.

For EFS, we mount some storage for the EC2 instance. There are many features in VPC, like internet gateway and NAT gateway. I will recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

At our company, we use it for data storage. We work on Cloud Clusters, so we use EBS as the underlying storage.

The most valuable feature is its scalability. I can easily scale the block from terabytes to gigabytes.

There are not many technical things that need improvement in EBS. It has a very long history and is AWS's first product. Its main flaw is the costliness.

I have been working with EBS for three years. 

EBS is stable. I have not seen any fluctuations when it comes to its stability. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of EBS a nine out of ten.

I work with Amazon Web Service in the China region. I'm satisfied with how fast the technical team usually responds.

Positive

The initial setup is quite easy. I would give it a nine out of ten in terms of ease of use. It only takes a few minutes to deploy, sometimes even less.

We deploy EBS in two ways. One is on the AWS console where there are options to select from and we do that in a few clicks. Sometimes we create a virtual machine and then create EBS simultaneously because the AWS console provides options we can use. Another way is by using our own infrastructure as code/technology. We deploy EBS through our infrastructure codes, and then the EBS is deployed automatically. We have about 200 clients using EBS. Some of them are small, but most are enterprise businesses. 

The cost of using EBS is high compared to other cloud vendors such as Tencent Cloud or CARI Cloud. For example, the EBS standard storage and snapshot are relatively expensive. If we cannot maintain our snapshot policy in a good economic way, there will be extra costs. Some costs are generated immediately and some are likely to increase. If the price of snapshots keeps increasing, we might not be able to afford it anymore. In terms of costliness, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

My advice to people who are considering using EBS is to use the correct type according to your performance. If you want any additional features, you will have to pay more. You will need to deactivate or delete snapshots in order to avoid extra costs. You should monitor the performance as well. Overall, I would rate ETB an eight out of ten.

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. It is the most valuable feature of EBS.

The product data encryption feature needs improvement.

It is a stable platform. We never faced stability issues.

It is an easy-to-scale platform. We have 50-100 EBS users.

The product’s technical support services are good.

Positive

The product’s initial setup process has medium complexity. It requires specific knowledge for easier deployment. It takes an hour to complete. It requires just one executive, as automation features make it easy to deploy.

For maintenance, it requires one or two people. Earlier, we accidentally removed the data from EBS. We had to restore it using the snapshots. To handle this situation, we needed a team of a maximum of three people.

The product is low-priced than other solutions. It is very affordable for small companies. It is beneficial for customers who are already using AWS cloud services. We purchase its yearly license. There are additional costs involved depending on requirements.

I recommend the product and rate it a nine out of ten. It provides data security. We can quickly restore data using backup snapshots from the production environment.

Our team uses the solution as secondary or backup storage. Currently, we have ten users. 

The solution provides big space that is reasonably priced. 

The setup could be easier. 

I have been using the solution for one year. 

The solution is stable with few issues. 

The solution is scalable based on how much storage you purchase. 

I have not needed technical support.
