AWS Storage, Data Management, and
Testing
 Elastic Block Storage
• Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is a block-level storage
service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) designed for use
with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.
• It provides persistent block-level storage volumes that can be attached
to EC2 instances to support various use cases such as database storage,
file system storage, and boot volumes.
• Amazon EBS provides scalable, high-performance block storage for
EC2 instances, offering features such as persistence, elasticity, backup
and recovery, encryption, and integration with other AWS services to
meet a wide range of storage requirements in the cloud.
 Elastic Block Storage
key features and characteristics of Amazon EBS:
• Block-level Storage: Amazon EBS provides block-level storage volumes,
which are essentially virtual hard drives that can be attached to EC2 instances.
These volumes appear as raw block devices to the EC2 instances and can be
formatted and used as desired, similar to physical hard drives.
• Persistence: Amazon EBS volumes are persistent, which means that the data
stored on them remains intact even after the associated EC2 instance is
stopped or terminated. This makes EBS volumes suitable for storing important
data that needs to persist beyond the lifetime of an EC2 instance.
• Elasticity: Amazon EBS volumes can be easily resized to accommodate
changing storage requirements. You can increase the size of an EBS volume
on-the-fly without requiring any downtime for the associated EC2 instance.
 Elastic Block Storage
key features and characteristics of Amazon EBS:
• Snapshot Backup: Amazon EBS supports creating snapshots of EBS volumes, which
are incremental backups of the volume's data. Snapshots are stored in Amazon Simple
Storage Service (Amazon S3) and can be used to create new EBS volumes or restore
volumes to a previous state.
• Encryption: Amazon EBS supports encryption of data at rest using AWS Key
Management Service (KMS). You can encrypt both the data stored on EBS volumes
and the snapshots created from those volumes to ensure data security and compliance
with regulatory requirements.
• Performance Options: Amazon EBS offers different volume types optimized for
various performance characteristics, including General Purpose SSD (gp2),
Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1), Throughput Optimized HDD (st1), and Cold HDD (sc1).
You can choose the appropriate volume type based on your performance and cost
requirements.
 Elastic Block Storage
key features and characteristics of Amazon EBS:
• High Availability and Durability: Amazon EBS volumes are designed for
high availability and durability. They are replicated within an Availability
Zone (AZ) to protect against component failures, and snapshots are stored
durably in Amazon S3 across multiple AZs for added data durability.
• Integration with Other AWS Services: Amazon EBS integrates seamlessly
with other AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS
Identity and Access Management (IAM), and AWS CloudFormation, allowing
you to manage and monitor your EBS volumes effectively within the AWS
ecosystem.
 AWS S3 & Storage Gateway

• Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and AWS Storage

Gateway are two key storage services provided by Amazon Web
Services (AWS) that serve different purposes but can be integrated to
meet various storage and data management needs.
• By combining Amazon S3 and AWS Storage Gateway, organizations
can seamlessly extend their on-premises storage infrastructure to the
cloud, enabling hybrid cloud storage solutions that offer scalability,
flexibility, and cost-efficiency.
 AWS S3 & Storage Gateway
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3):
• Amazon S3 is an object storage service designed to store and retrieve any amount of data
from anywhere on the web. It offers highly durable and scalable storage infrastructure for
storing and managing large amounts of data.
• Data in Amazon S3 is stored as objects within buckets. Each object consists of data, a
unique key (identifier), and metadata.
• Amazon S3 is suitable for a wide range of use cases including backup and restore, content
distribution, data lakes, data archiving, and application hosting.
• It provides features such as versioning, lifecycle policies, encryption, access control, and
event notifications to manage data effectively and securely.
• Amazon S3 offers multiple storage classes including Standard, Intelligent-Tiering,
Standard-IA (Infrequent Access), One Zone-IA, Glacier, and Glacier Deep Archive,
allowing customers to optimize storage costs based on their access patterns and retention
requirements.
 AWS S3 & Storage Gateway
AWS Storage Gateway:
AWS Storage Gateway is a hybrid cloud storage service that enables on-premises
applications to seamlessly access AWS cloud storage. It acts as a bridge between on-
premises environments and cloud storage, providing low-latency access to data stored in
Amazon S3 or Amazon Glacier.
• Storage Gateway offers three different types of gateways:
• File Gateway: Provides a file interface to Amazon S3, allowing you to store and retrieve objects in S3
using standard file protocols such as Network File System (NFS) and Server Message Block (SMB). It
is suitable for use cases such as file sharing, backup, and disaster recovery.
• Volume Gateway: Presents block storage volumes to on-premises applications as iSCSI devices, with
data stored in Amazon S3. It offers two modes:
• Stored Volumes: Entire datasets are stored locally and asynchronously backed up to Amazon S3,
providing low-latency access to frequently accessed data.
• Cached Volumes: Only frequently accessed data is stored locally, while the entire dataset resides in
Amazon S3. This optimizes storage usage and provides low-latency access to frequently accessed data.
 AWS S3 & Storage Gateway
• Tape Gateway: Provides a virtual tape library (VTL) interface to
Amazon S3 and Glacier, allowing you to replace physical tape-based
backup infrastructure with scalable and cost-effective cloud storage. It
is suitable for long-term data retention and archiving.
• Storage Gateway integrates seamlessly with AWS services such as
Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, AWS Backup, AWS CloudWatch, and
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
• It simplifies hybrid cloud storage management by providing a unified
management console and APIs for monitoring and managing on-
premises and cloud storage resources.
 CLI Usage in AWS

• CLI Usage:

 Glacier & Snowball

• Glacier and Snowball are both services offered by Amazon Web Services
(AWS) for data storage and transfer, particularly useful for large-scale or
offline data management.
• Glacier is primarily for long-term data storage with infrequent access
requirements, while Snowball is a physical data transfer solution for moving
large volumes of data in and out of AWS securely and efficiently.
• Snowball simplifies and accelerates large-scale data transfers to and from
AWS, making it an effective solution for scenarios where traditional
methods are impractical or inefficient.
• Both services offer solutions for different aspects of data management
within the AWS ecosystem.
 Glacier & Snowball

Amazon Glacier:
• Glacier is a long-term storage service designed for data archiving and backup.
• It is optimized for infrequently accessed data that requires long-term retention,
such as regulatory compliance archives or backup data that you don't need to
access regularly.
• Glacier offers very low-cost storage compared to other AWS storage services,
but it's important to note that accessing data from Glacier can have higher
latency compared to more frequently accessed storage options like Amazon
S3.
 Glacier & Snowball

Amazon Snowball:
• Snowball is a physical data transport solution offered by AWS for transferring
large amounts of data into and out of the AWS cloud.
• It addresses challenges associated with transferring large datasets over the
internet, such as limited bandwidth, security concerns, and high network costs.
• Snowball devices are rugged, tamper-resistant, and come in different sizes
(Snowball, Snowball Edge, and Snowmobile) to accommodate various data
transfer needs.
• Customers can request a Snowball device, transfer their data onto it, and then
ship it to an AWS data center where the data is uploaded into the customer's
AWS account.
