Q: What is the fundamental difference between EBS and S3?

> * **EBS (Elastic Block Store)**: Raw block storage attached directly to a single EC2 instance (like a local SSD/HDD). Optimized for low-latency, high-performance database execution and OS boot volumes. * **S3 (Simple Storage Service)**: Object storage accessed over the internet via HTTP REST APIs. Optimized for infinite scalability, high durability backups, static assets, and logs.
