AWS has the following types of Storage types.
- Simple Storage Services (S3)
- Elastic File System (EFS)
- Elastic Block Storage (EBS)
- SNOW
Block Storage vs Object Storage:
|
Block Storage |
Object Storage |
|
Block Storage divides the data to be
data stored evenly sized blocks. |
Object storage stores the file as a
whole and does not divide them. |
|
Data Blocks stored in Block Storage
would not contain the metadata ( data created, data modified, content type
etc). |
In Object storage, an object is
the file data itself. it has metadata and object Global unique ID. *Object Global unique ID is a unique
identifier for the object. |
|
Block Storage only keeps the address(
index) where data blocks are stored and can be mounted as a drive |
Object Storage can't be mounted as a
drive. |
Example of Block Storage is EBS
