I assume this a default&nbsp; as i just ran Esri provided AMI. I am confused about EBS volume and S3 services of AMazon. for example if upload my application data on ARCGIS server than will it be on EBS volume or on S3. Actuallly I am not clear when i should S3 storage. when i google on S3 IT SAYS it is web service to access data. than should i assume that i access EBS volumes using S3 service.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 26 Jan 2013 12:35:17 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/difference-bw-s3-and-ebs/m-p/228579#M8830 NadeemQazi 2013-01-26T12:35:17Z Re: difference bw S3 and EBS https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/difference-bw-s3-and-ebs/m-p/228580#M8831 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>When you create an instance in Amazon and run it, it will include EBS volumes.
