The best AWS storage service depends on your need:

  • Amazon EBS is best for high performance and low latency, often used with databases and EC2 instances.

  • Amazon S3 is the most balanced option, offering good performance with low cost and is widely used for backups and file storage.

  • Amazon S3 Glacier is the cheapest, but it is slower and mainly used for long-term archival data.

  • Amazon EFS is useful when multiple systems need shared access to files.

simple terms

  • EBS = fastest 
  • S3 = balanced  
  • Glacier = cheapest.
