Amazon Elastic Block Store

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is a cloud storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that offers persistent storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances (virtual servers). Think of it as a hard drive in the cloud that you can attach to your virtual machines. EBS is designed for durability, allowing you to store data that remains intact even if the server is stopped or restarted. It supports various performance levels to match different application needs, making it scalable and flexible for businesses to manage their data efficiently without worrying about physical hardware.
