Ebs AWS-(Virtual Hard Drive)

EBS

• Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is a persistent, high-performance block storage service designed for use with Amazon EC2 instances.
• It functions like a virtual hard drive, providing durable, scalable storage that persists independently of the EC2 instance lifecycle—meaning data remains even if the instance is stopped or terminated.
