Hello and welcome to this course where I shall provide an introduction to a AWS storage. Throughout this learning path, you'll be introduced to many different AWS services with storage features, covering Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Amazon Elastic File System, the Amazon Elastic Block Store, AWS Storage Gateway, AWS Snowball, and the EC2 instance storage.
Most of these services are covered in greater depth in other courses throughout this learning path, so for this course I just want to focus on the Elastic Block Store and EC2 instance storage.
