"Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides block level storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EBS volumes are off-instance storage that persists independently from the life of an instance. Amazon Elastic Block Store provides highly available, highly reliable storage volumes that can be attached to a running Amazon EC2 instance and exposed as a device within the instance. Amazon EBS is particularly suited for applications that require a database, file system, or access to raw block level storage." - DeWitt Clinton

Some highlights: "Amazon EBS allows you to create storage volumes from 1 GB to 1 TB that can be mounted as devices by Amazon EC2 instances. Multiple volumes can be mounted to the same instance." and "Each storage volume is automatically replicated within the same Availability Zone. This prevents data loss due to failure of any single hardware component." - DeWitt Clinton
This is great stuff. Congrats to @Werner and the AWS team! - DeWitt Clinton
