Description: Amazon EC2 instance storage refers to a type of temporary storage that is physically attached to the host server where the EC2 instance runs. This storage is volatile, meaning that data stored in it is lost when the instance is stopped or terminated. This type of storage is ideal for applications that require high performance and low latency, as it provides fast access to data. EC2 instances can have one or more instance storage volumes, and their capacity can vary depending on the selected instance type. Unlike persistent storage, such as Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store), instance storage is more suitable for temporary data, such as caches, temporary files, or intermediate data that does not need to be permanently stored. Additionally, its direct integration with the server hardware allows for superior performance compared to other storage options. In summary, Amazon EC2 instance storage is an efficient and fast solution for temporary storage needs in cloud computing environments.
