Overview
Alibaba Cloud Elastic Block Storage (EBS) is a sophisticated block-level data storage service designed to address the demanding storage requirements of modern enterprises. By attaching EBS to Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances, users can achieve high performance, low latency, and exceptional reliability. This service allows for automatic replication within the same zone, ensuring data integrity in the event of hardware failures and providing stability for critical workloads. With EBS, managing storage is as simple as managing disks. Users can partition EBS devices, create file systems, and leverage them for data persistence.
Benefits
Elastic Block Storage offers a range of benefits to users, including high reliability, with 99.9999999% data reliability through distributed architecture. The service provides high performance with up to 1,000,000 IOPS random read/write operations and 4,000 MB/s sequential throughput per disk. Additionally, EBS is highly scalable, supporting capacities up to 32 TiB per disk with seamless scaling capabilities. Users can also ensure security by leveraging data backup through snapshots and encryption using the Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model.
Features
EBS comes equipped with a range of advanced features to meet diverse storage needs. Online scaling allows for easy expansion without disrupting services. Data protection is enhanced through snapshot creation for backup and disaster recovery. Data encryption capabilities eliminate the need for separate key management systems. I/O isolation ensures consistent storage performance by dedicating bandwidth to each ECS instance, preventing storage I/O contention.
Scenarios
Alibaba Cloud Elastic Block Storage is well-suited for a variety of scenarios, including relational databases and enterprise-level applications. User-created NoSQL databases benefit from EBS's high reliability and optimized data persistence. With low-latency random access and support for up to 1,000,000 IOPS, EBS is ideal for demanding database workloads. The service also facilitates data encryption at rest, enhancing data security for cloud deployments.
