C. Amazon EC2 Instance Storage : called ephemeral drives provide temporary block-level storage for many EC2
instance types. physical server that hosts the EC2 instance for which the block provides storage.
The number and storage capacity of Amazon EC2 local instance store volumes are fixed and defined by the instance
type.
D. AWS Storage Gateway : AWS Storage Gateway connects an on-premises software appliance with cloud based
storage to provide seamless and secure storage integration between an organization’s on-premises IT environment
and the AWS storage infrastructure.
1. We can download the AWS Storage Gateway software appliance as a virtual machine (VM) image that you install on a
host in your data center or as an EC2 instance. Once we’ve installed our gateway and associated it with our AWS
account through the AWS activation process, we can use the AWS Management Console to create gateway-cached
volumes, gateway-stored volumes, or a gateway-virtual tape library (VTL), each of which can be mounted as an iSCSI
device by your on-premises applications.
2. Gateway-cached volumes, you can use Amazon S3 to hold our primary data, while retaining some portion of it
locally in a cache for frequently accessed data. Gateway-cached volumes minimize the need to scale your on-
premises storage infrastructure while still providing your applications with low-latency access to their frequently
accessed data.
3. Gateway-stored volumes store our Primary data locally, while asynchronously backing up that data to AWS.
Data written to our gateway-stored volumes is stored on our on-premises storage hardware, and asynchronously
backed up to Amazon S3 in the form of Amazon EBS snapshots.
Use cases include corporate file sharing, enabling existing on-premises backup applications to store primary backups
on Amazon S3, disaster recovery, and mirroring data to cloud-based compute resources and then later archiving it to
Amazon Glacier.
The AWS Management Console can be used to download the AWS Storage Gateway VM on-premises or onto an
EC2 instance (an AMI that contains the gateway VM image).
E. AWS Snowball : Ideal for transferring anywhere from terabytes to many petabytes of data in and out of the AWS
Cloud securely.
use cases include cloud migration, disaster recovery, data center decommission, and content distribution.
