Storage Devices that available

1. Simple Storage Service (S3):
2. Glacier
3. Elastic Block Store
4. Elastic File System
5. Storage Gateway
6. Snowball.

Simple Storage Service : ?

1. Designed to store and access any kind of data over the internet.
2. Server-less Service

Fig .1 S3 Storage

1. Yes! Obviously file server, an operating system, a hard disk but we don’t need to be concerned about that at all. We just simply need to create this thing called a bucket and then we upload objects to that bucket.
2. The bucket grows as we add objects to it and the size of the bucket is theoretically unlimited.

Glacier :?

1. Mainly used for long-term archiving data.

Fig.2 Glacier

1. Server-less Service
2. Same as S3 but it not as readily accessible. (so it should only be used for content that is to be archived).

we can also set up automatically migrate old data to the glacier from simple storage services storage for long-term archiving data.

Elastic Block Store (EBS):?

Fig.3 EBS

1. low latency block storage and it’s specifically for attaching to servers that are launched with the Amazon ec2 service. (similar to attaching a hard drive to our computer)

Every server required a drive. EBS is essential cloud-based storage for the drives of your VM. EBS is designed to store data in blocks attached to an Amazon EC2 instance, like a local disk drive on a physical machine. You need to mount EBS onto an Amazon EC2 instance.

Elastic File System (EFS):?

Fig.4 EFS

EFS is on the other hand automatically scalable — this means that we need not be worried about your running applications as there won’t be any problems. if their workload suddenly becomes higher — the storage will automatically scale itself. if the workload decreases — the storage will itself scale down so that you don’t pay anything for the part of storage that you don’t use.
Amazon EFS is especially helpful for shared volumes, big data analysis, running servers, and any scalable workload you can think of.

AWS Storage Gateway :?

Enables hybrid storage between on-premises environments and the AWS cloud. It provides a low latency performance by fetching frequently used data on-premises while storing the less frequently data in Amazon Cloud storage services.

Conclusion

Henceforth, we studied AWS Marketplace provides pr-build software and deploys it to AWS cloud. This results in the fact that AWS customers can easily use it to back up and restore their data. In addition, they can archive the data, backup and restore, and disaster recovery
