Amazon S3 Glacier is a secure, durable, and extremely low-cost Amazon S3 storage class for data archiving and long-term backup. With S3 Glacier, customers can store their data cost effectively for months, years, or even decades. S3 Glacier enables customers to offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling storage to AWS, so they don't have to worry about capacity planning, hardware provisioning, data replication, hardware failure detection and recovery, or time-consuming hardware migrations. A developer uses a cold data cloud service such as Amazon Glacier to move infrequently accessed data to archival storage to save money on storage costs. He can also move database backups from tape storage media to the cloud for long-term Glacier storage. Amazon Glacier helps to protect the data by redundantly storing it on multiple devices using multiple facilities. AWS Glacier has a Data Integrity Check which regularly monitors the data in the Glacier. It also provides secur...

The AWS Snowball Edge is a type of Snowball device with on-board storage and compute power for select AWS capabilities. Snowball Edge can undertake local processing and edge-computing workloads in addition to transferring data between your local environment and the AWS Cloud. Each Snowball Edge device can transport data at speeds faster than the internet. This transport is done by shipping the data in the appliances through a regional carrier. The appliances are rugged shipping containers, complete with E Ink shipping labels. The AWS Snowball Edge device differs from the standard Snowball because it can bring the power of the AWS Cloud to your on-premises location, with local storage and compute functionality. Snowball Edge devices have three options for device configurations – storage optimized, compute optimized, and with GPU. When this guide refers to Snowball Edge devices, it's referring to all options of the device. Whenever specific information applies only to one ...

AWS Snowball is a data transport solution that accelerates moving terabytes to petabytes of data into and out of AWS services using storage devices designed to be secure for physical transport. Using Snowball helps to eliminate challenges that can be encountered with large-scale data transfers including high network costs, long transfer times, and security concerns. Features of AWS Snowball Data transfer and Edge Computing WS Snowball uses secure, rugged devices so you can bring AWS computing and storage capabilities to your edge environments, and transfer data into and out of AWS. The service delivers you Snowball Edge devices with storage and optional Amazon EC2 and AWS IOT Greengrass compute in shippable, hardened, secure cases. With AWS Snowball, you bring cloud capabilities for machine learning, data analytics, processing, and storage to your edge, for migrations, short-term data collection, or even long-term deployments. AWS Snowball devices work with or without th...

Amazon Elastic Block Store   ( EBS ) is an easy to use, high performance block storage service designed for use with   Amazon  Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for both throughput and transaction intensive workloads at any scale. EBS Volume Types Following are the three types. EBS General Purpose (SSD) This volume type is suitable for small and medium workloads like Root disk EC2 volumes, small and medium database workloads, frequently logs accessing workloads, etc. By default, SSD supports 3 IOPS (Input Output Operations per Second)/GB means 1 GB volume will give 3 IOPS, and 10 GB volume will give 30 IOPS. Its storage capacity of one volume ranges from 1 GB to 1 TB. The cost of one volume is $0.10 per GB for one month. Provisioned IOPS (SSD) This volume type is suitable for the most demanding I/O intensive, transactional workloads and large relational, EMR and Hadoop workloads, etc. By default, IOPS SSD supports 30 IOPS/GB means 10GB volume will give 300 IOPS. Its stor...

Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) Amazon EFS is a regional service storing data within and across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) for high availability and durability. Amazon EC2 instances can access your file system across AZs, regions, and VPCs, while on-premises servers can access using AWS Direct Connect or AWS VPN. EFS is the best choice for running any application that has a high workload, requires scalable storage, and must produce output quickly. It scales automatically, even to meet the most abrupt workload spikes. After the period of high-volume storage demand has passed, EFS will automatically scale back down. EFS can be mounted to different AWS services and accessed from all your virtual machines. Use it for running shared volumes, or for big data analysis. You’ll always pay for the storage you actually use, rather than provisioning storage in advance that’s ultimately wasted. Benefits of EFS: Performance that scales to support any workload: EFS offer...

Benefits of S3 are below: Durability Low cost Scalability Availability Security Flexibility Simple data transfer Amazon S3 Storage Classes Amazon S3 offers customers and users a wide range of storage classes which allows users the flexibility in configuring their storage. The different storage classes include: Amazon S3 Standard This is your standard storage for “hot” or live data access. Availability is at 99.99% and usually the go-to storage class for most users. Amazon S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) This storage class is for infrequent access to data. It offers lower storage costs but higher storage restoration costs. This class is recommended for data that can be at rest for 30 days without needing to be accessed, such as archives, but if needed, can be accessed relatively quickly. Amazon S3 One Zone-infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA) Very similar to Amazon S3 Standard-IA, but costs 20% less due to only being available in one zone as opposed t...

Amazon S3 or Amazon Simple Storage Service is a service offered by Amazon Web Services that provides object storage through a web service interface. Amazon S3 uses the same scalable storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its global e-commerce network. Amazon Simple Storage Service, widely known as Amazon S3, is a highly scalable, fast, and durable solution for object-level storage of any data type. Unlike the operating systems we are all used to, Amazon S3 does not store files in a file system, instead it stores files as objects. Object Storage allows users to upload files, videos, and documents like you were to upload files, videos, and documents to popular cloud storage products like Dropbox and Google Drive. This makes Amazon S3 very flexible and platform agnostic. How S3 Works? Amazon S3 is an object storage service, which differs from block and file cloud storage. Each object is stored as a file with its metadata included and is given an ID number. A...
