Description: EC2 Instance Storage is a type of temporary storage that is physically attached to the host computer running Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances. This storage is used to hold data that does not require long-term persistence, such as temporary files or cache data. Unlike EBS (Elastic Block Store) volumes, which are persistent and can survive instance termination, instance storage is lost when the instance is stopped or terminated. This type of storage is ideal for applications that require fast access to temporary data and can tolerate data loss in the event of instance restart. EC2 instances can have different instance storage configurations depending on the instance type and specific application needs. Overall, instance storage offers superior performance compared to other storage types, making it an attractive option for workloads requiring high-speed data access.
