AWS storage service

Data is the most valuable asset of an enterprise. AWS's storage services provide a safe, reliable, and scalable home for these assets.

AWS offers a variety of storage services, such as object storage (S3), block storage (EBS), and file storage (EFS), which can meet different data storage needs and provide high availability, durability, and security.
2.1 S3: The extraordinary capabilities of simple storage service

Amazon S3, a simple storage service, provides enterprises with a persistent, highly available, and scalable object storage. It not only supports the storage of any amount of data but also supports global access. Spotify, as one of the largest music streaming services in the world, is a loyal user of S3. It uses S3 to store its huge music library and ensure the music playback needs of hundreds of millions of users around the world.
2.2 EBS and EFS: The double gems of block storage and file storage

In addition to object storage, AWS also provides block storage and file storage services. EBS provides persistent block-level storage for EC2 instances, while EFS provides a simple, scalable, and fully managed file storage service. The combination of these services provides enterprises with a flexible data storage solution, whether it is an application that requires a high-performance database or a shared file system.
Practical case: Spotify

Spotify uses S3 to store its music library and uses EBS to provide high-performance block-level storage for EC2 instances. AWS's storage services such as S3 and EBS not only provide powerful data storage solutions for enterprises like Spotify but also provide data support for Amazon's own AI projects.
