    Study Notes

    EBS Volume Management

    • EBS volumes should be created in the same region as the instance and then attached.
    • Performance can be increased by aggregating EBS volumes into RAID 0 or RAID 1 arrays (Linux). This improves both performance and storage space.
    • hdparm -Tt /dev/sdf and ioping -R are useful Linux commands for I/O monitoring.
    • By default, EBS volume replication occurs within a single Availability Zone. Multi-Availability Zone redundancy requires enabling this feature.
    • Creating snapshots of EBS volumes allows for replications and point-in-time restores, as well as archiving.
    • An EBS volume can only be attached to one EC2 instance at a time, but a single EC2 instance can be attached to multiple EBS volumes.
    • EBS allows for data separation from compute instances, ensuring data persistence. Multiple EBS volumes can be attached to an instance for data striping and increased performance.
    • EBS volumes range in size from 1 GB to 1 TB.
