Key Points

  1. AWS services can come at 3 layers: iaas, paas, saas
  2. Most references to AWS refer to paas - EC2 instances and the services that run on them
  3. EC2 instances can be Windows or Linux
  4. A low-cost iaas option is LightSail - a VPS server that is fixed price, low-cost with internet connectivity etc - easier to plan than EC2 costs
  5. EBS - elastic block storage - can be mounted and file system created for use. can be attached to any single instance

EBS - Elastic Block Storage devices

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AmazonEBS.html

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides block level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. EBS volumes behave like raw, unformatted block devices. You can mount these volumes as devices on your instances. You can mount multiple volumes on the same instance, but each volume can be attached to only one instance at a time. You can create a file system on top of these volumes, or use them in any way you would use a block device (like a hard drive). You can dynamically change the configuration of a volume attached to an instance.

EBS volumes are highly available and reliable storage volumes that can be attached to any running instance that is in the same Availability Zone. EBS volumes that are attached to an EC2 instance are exposed as storage volumes that persist independently from the life of the instance. With Amazon EBS, you pay only for what you use. For more information about Amazon EBS pricing, see the Projecting Costs section of the Amazon Elastic Block Store page.
