More on Moore’s Law

Once upon a time, EC2 instances were ephemeral – when a server instance was terminated, all local storage was lost. To work around this, you had to back up to S3 before termination, or rebundle your instance into a new AMI (Amazon Machine Image, or the virtual hard drive the instances boots off of).

Suffer no longer! Persistent storage has arrived with the Elastic Block Store. EC2 is now ideally suited for applications and databases like MySQL.

Here is from their press release:

With Amazon EBS, storage volumes can be programmatically created, attached to Amazon EC2 instances, and if even more durability is desired, can be backed with a snapshot to the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3).

Prior to Amazon EBS, block storage within an Amazon EC2 instance was tied to the instance itself so that when the instance was terminated, the data within the instance was lost. Now with Amazon EBS, users can chose to allocate storage volumes that persist reliably and independently from Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EBS volumes can be created in any size between 1 GB and 1 TB, and multiple volumes can be attached to a single instance. Additionally, for even more durable backups and an easy way to create new volumes, Amazon EBS provides the ability to create point-in-time, consistent snapshots of volumes that are then stored to Amazon S3.

Amazon EBS is well suited for databases, as well as many other applications that require running a file system or access to raw block-level storage. As Amazon EC2 instances are started and stopped, the information saved in your database or application is preserved in much the same way it is with traditional physical servers. Amazon EBS can be accessed through the latest Amazon EC2 APIs, and is now available in public beta.

I will try to come up with a speaker to present EBS at a future meetup. Stay tuned…
