In this episode, we dive deep into the storage services you can access in AWS, from File Storage Services to Object Storage Services.

• AWS Backup: A fully managed, policy-based service that centralizes and automates data protection across various AWS services, simplifying backup management at scale.
• Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS): Persistent block storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances, automatically replicated within an Availability Zone for high availability and durability.
• AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (Elastic Disaster Recovery): A service that minimizes downtime and data loss by enabling fast, reliable recovery of on-premises and cloud-based applications through continuous data replication and point-in-time recovery.
• Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS): A simple, scalable, elastic file system for Linux-based workloads, offering massively parallel shared access, automatic scaling, and high availability across Availability Zones.
• Amazon EFS Archive: A cost-effective storage class within Amazon EFS for long-lived, rarely accessed data, supporting intelligent tiering.

• Amazon FSx for Lustre: A fully managed file system optimized for compute-intensive workloads like HPC and machine learning, offering high throughput and low latency, with seamless integration with Amazon S3.
• Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP: A fully managed NetApp file system in the cloud, allowing easy migration or extension of existing applications to AWS with familiar NetApp features, performance, and protocols (NFS, SMB, iSCSI).
• Amazon FSx for OpenZFS: A fully managed file storage service built on the open-source OpenZFS file system, designed for migrating on-premises file servers and building new high-performance, data-driven applications in the cloud.
• Amazon FSx for Windows File Server: A fully managed native Microsoft Windows file system providing shared file storage with full support for SMB protocol, Windows NTFS, and Active Directory integration, ideal for Windows-based applications.
• Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3): An object storage service known for industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance, used for a wide range of use cases including websites, mobile applications, backup, and analytics.
• S3 Intelligent-Tiering: An Amazon S3 storage class that automatically moves data between access tiers based on changing access patterns to optimize costs.
• S3 Standard: An Amazon S3 storage class designed for frequently accessed data.
• S3 Express One Zone: An Amazon S3 storage class for the most frequently accessed data, optimized for single-zone storage.
• S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA): An Amazon S3 storage class for less frequently accessed data that requires rapid access when needed.
• S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA): An Amazon S3 storage class for less frequently accessed data stored in a single Availability Zone for lower cost.
• S3 Glacier Instant Retrieval: An Amazon S3 storage class for archive data that needs immediate access.
• S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval (formerly S3 Glacier): An Amazon S3 storage class for rarely accessed long-term data that does not require immediate access, with flexible retrieval times.
• Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive (S3 Glacier Deep Archive): The lowest-cost Amazon S3 storage class for long-term archive and digital preservation, with retrieval in hours.
• S3 Outposts: An Amazon S3 storage class that allows S3 data to be stored on premises to meet data residency requirements.
• S3 Object Lock: An Amazon S3 feature that helps prevent objects from being deleted or overwritten for a fixed amount of time or indefinitely, supporting WORM (write-once-read-many) requirements.
• AWS Storage Gateway: A hybrid storage service that connects on-premises applications to AWS cloud storage using standard protocols, facilitating backup, archiving, disaster recovery, and cloud data processing.
