Storage

AWS offers a wide range of cloud storage services used by applications and for archival purposes:

• Simple Storage Service (S3): AWS S3 is an object-based storage service over the web. We can store any amount of data and it can be retrieved from anywhere over HTTP. We can also host a static HTML website on S3.
• Elastic File System (EFS): AWS EFS is a scalable file storage system that can be used with EC2 instances. EFS can be automatically scaled up and down based on files being added or removed. EFS can also be mounted on an external server residing outside the Amazon ecosystem.
• Glacier: AWS Glacier is a low-cost storage service that can be used for data archiving and infrequently used data. Glacier offers a reliable, secure, and cost-effective storage service.
• Storage Gateway: AWS Storage Gateway is an interface that helps to connect an on-premise storage infrastructure with an AWS storage infrastructure. Storage Gateway offers multiple storage solution types, including file gateway, volume-based, and tape-based types.
