Explain the difference between instance store and ebs?..

Answer / Manoj Kumar Pal

Instance Store is Amazon EC2's local block storage that persists only as long as the instance is running. It uses solid-state drives (SSD) for high input/output operations per second (IOPS), and data is lost when the instance stops or is terminated. On the other hand, Elastic Block Store (EBS) is an AWS service that provides persistent block storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. It can be used for storing any type of data and persists even when the instance is stopped or terminated.
