This document provides information about Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS). It begins with an introduction to the author and their experience and certifications. It then discusses EBS as a block storage service from AWS that is network-attached storage for EC2 instances. Key points made include that EBS volumes can be independently created, attached to EC2 instances, resized, and snapshotted for backups. Different EBS volume types like GP2, IO1, ST1, and SC1 are suited for different use cases based on their performance characteristics and cost. Choosing the right volume type depends on factors like throughput needs, IOPS requirements, and whether sequential or random access is more important.
