Amazon Elastic Block Store launches
August 20th, 2008 | by jnousis |Amazon has just launched EBS (Elastic Block Store) which allows anyone to attach persistent, high-performance, high-availability block-level storage to an EC2 instance. For me basically this is the end of hosting to traditional companies and from now on all our projects will be hosted there. The easy of use and the scallability are factors highly critical for any start up and Amazon has a very good set of tools to let your company grow. I have been using all Amazon web services for quite a long time and persistent storage was available through some 3rd party tools but with the launch of EBS anyone can now create a good webserver on EC2 without the fear of loosing any data if the instance is shut down for some reason. For more information take a look at this post.
