[AWS] EC2 – Storage Options

Every EC2 instance must have a root volume, which may or may not be EBS (Elastic Block Store).
By default, an EBS root volume will be deleted when the instance is terminated. You can change the setting to make EBS volumes persistent.
You can attach additional EBS volumes to instances, and they are not deleted when the instance is terminated.

[AWS] EC2 – Instance Types

An Instance Type determines a particular set of features and sizes (hardware components) that decide the level of workload – Compute Power (vCPU), Memory, Storage Options, Network Performance.

AWS provides various purchasing options for users to optimize their costs based on their needs. On-demand is the base option. You can pay just for what you use. But you can get a discount by reserving instances for a set of periods.

[AWS] Key Management Service (KMS)

Key Management Service (KMS) is a secure key management service (FIPS 140-2 level 2 validated). It helps you to create and control encryption keys that are used to encrypt and decrypt data. KMS also uses a HSM (Hardware Security Module) to protect the security of your keys.

KMS is integrated with most of other AWS services.
