AWS Block Storage Contd…

• EBS:
  • Persistent Storage: Lifetime is independent of ec2 instance
  • General purpose: EBS volumes are raw, unformatted block devices that can be used by any OS
  • Variables size: Volume sizes range from 1 GB to 16 TB in 1 GB increments and new generation ssd supports till 64 TB
  • Encryption: EBS provides support for encryption of data at rest and in transit between ec2 instances and ebs volume
  • Block Storage Types:
    • SSD:
      • General Purpose SSD:
        • Generations: gp2 and gp3
        • IOPS will perform about the shown IOPS
      • Provisioned IOPS SSD:
        • Generations: io1 and io2
        • Guaranteed speed as per the selected IOPS
    • HDD:
      • COLD HDD
      • Throughput optmized HDD
    • Magnetic
• Exercise: Create a
  • Linux Based EC2 instance
    
  • Windows Based EC2 instance
    
• Login into linux machine and execute the following
  
  
• Login into windows server and explore the storage devices
  
  
• Now lets add an EBS volume to the linux instance
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Once the block device is found, you can create partitions or format the disk with filesystem
  
  
• Now lets create some files
  
• Lets repeat the same in windows (refer class room video)
• In AWS We can increase the size of volumes without restarting the servers
  
• Linux Volume modification Refer Here & Refer Here for windows volume modifications
