With AWS, you can choose the right storage service like including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Storage (Amazon EBS) for the right use case. This session shows the range of AWS choices—from object storage to block storage—that are available to you. The sessions will also include specifics about real-world deployments from customers who are using Amazon S3, Amazon EBS, Amazon Glacier, and AWS Storage Gateway.

• Archival Storage
• Block Storage
• File Storage Service
• Gateway Solution

9. v
Object Storage

10. v
Simple Storage Service
• Highly scalable, fully managed object storage
• Virtually unlimited storage capacity - no
provisioning needed
• 1 byte to 5 TB in size per object
• Designed for 99.999999999% durability
• Replicated across 3 facilities
• Different pricing tiers for hot (Standard), warm
(Standard - IA) or cold storage (Glacier)
• Trillions of unique customer objects
• Millions of transactions per second

11. v
Simple Storage Service
1 PB raw storage
800 TB usable storage
600 TB allocated storage
400 TB application data
Traditional Storage Amazon S3

12. v
S3 – Buckets and Objects
• Stored in buckets
• Versioning
• Access control lists and bucket policies
• AES-256 bit encryption at rest
• Private by default
• Addressable over the internet if public
• Allows event notifications to trigger
further action
• Enable cross-region replication with a
click of a button
• Ideal for images, videos, application data,
backups and more

13. v
S3 – Static Content Website
• S3 becomes your static webserver
• Offload static content to S3 and run
dynamic content on other services such
as EC2 or Elastic Beanstalk

14. v
S3 – When to use?
Use Amazon S3 when you need:
• Web-scale storage capacity and performance
for web applications
• High data durability
• Storage for log files
• Storage for backup and active archives
• Origin store for Content Delivery Networks
such as Amazon CloudFront
• Ingestion point or data lake for Big Data
applications
Amazon S3

15. v
• Uses Amazon S3 to store daily logs
and static assets such as images
• Generates more than 1.2TBs of logs
per day
• Big Data - Runs ~250 Hadoop jobs
per day, processing more than
30TBs of data

16. v
Archival Storage

17. v
Amazon Glacier
• Long term low-cost archiving service
• Optimal for infrequently accessed data
• 99.999999999% durability
• 3-5 hours retrieval time
• $0.007 per GB / month
• $120 per TB / year

18. v• Provides secure backup and recovery
solutions for SaaS applications including
Salesforce.com and Google Apps
• Over 200,000 customers
• Stores multiple petabytes of data in
Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier
• Choose AWS to build a scalable backup
storage platform without requiring
significant initial investment
Use Case: Backupify

19. v
Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier Integration
Policy-based archiving service

20. v
Amazon S3 Lifecycle Policies
• S3 Lifecycle policies allow to
transition, archive or permanently
delete objects based on age
• Set rules per S3 bucket
• Apply rule to whole bucket or on a
specific prefix (e.g. logfiles/)
• Example:
• Transition to S3-IA after 7 days
• Move object to Glacier after 30 days
• Delete object after 365 days

21. v

22. v
Block Storage

23. v
EC2 Instance Storage
• Every EC2 comes with instance storage
• Local, direct attached resource
• Size is based on EC2 instance type
• Storage optimized instances for up to
365,000 r/s and 315,000 w/s
• Choice of SSD or magnetic
It’s volatile!
• No persistence
• All data is automatically deleted
when an EC2 instance stops, fails or
is terminated

24. v
Elastic Block Store
• High performance block storage
• Persistent block storage
• 1GB to 16TB in size per volume
• Mount as drives to EC2 instances
• SSD or Magnetic
• Burstable or provisioned throughput
* Upcoming: Larger and faster EBS
volumes for up to 16TB

25. v
Elastic Block Store
• You can attach multiple EBS volumes
• RAID to increase performance or storage
capacity

26. v
Elastic Block Store
• You can reattach your EBS volume to a
new instance
• Data is persisted

27. v
Elastic Block Store
• You can snapshot your EBS volume into
our highly durable storage service
• Create new EBS volumes from
snapshots or clone drives

28. v
EBS Performance
• EBS Magnetic
• 40-200 IOPS
• EBS General Purpose
• SSD backed
• 3 IOPS / GB
• Burstable to 10,000 IOPS
• EBS Provisioned IOPS
• SSD backed
• Up to 20,000 IOPS consistently
IOPS = I/O per second for up to 256KB blocks

29. v
File Storage Service

30. v
Amazon Elastic File System
• Fully managed file system for EC2 instances
• Sharable across multiple EC2 instances
• Automatically grows or shrinks on petabyte scale
– no provisioning required
• Pay only for what you use
• Highly available and durable
• NFS v4-based
• Works with standard OS file systems
• Throughput and IOPS automatically scale
• Consistent low latency regardless of file system
size

31. vAmazon EFS is designed for a broad range
of use cases, such as:
• Content repositories
• Development environments
• Home directories
• Data lakes (Big Data)
Amazon Elastic File System
