A network drive that is attached in ONE EC2 in the same AZ - can migrate (snapshot > restore) , can be resized - only up , need to select EC2 type for max throughput

Volume Types:

gp2 /gp3general purpose SSD
io1/io2high performance SSD for mission critical low latency/high throughput workloads
st1 (HDD)low cost frequently accessed throughput intensive
sc1 (HDD)lowest cost infrequent access

Snapshots (Incremental)

Stored in S3 , can copy/restore cross regions , can create AMI from snapshot

👨🏻‍🚒
to restore - use FSR (fast snapshot restore)
🥴
Data lifecycle manager to automate EBS snapshots & AMI’s

Encryption

To enable default encryption for new snapshots - need to enable per region

EBS Multi Attach

Up to 16 EC2’s in the same AZ - allows to create a cluster , need to use io1/io2 volume type

EC2 Instance Store - ephemeral

Physical disk that is attached to your EC2 - for very high IOPS

up to 7.5 TB per disk - up to 60 TB total , can be used as block storage
