- EC2 Instance Store provides temporary block-level storage for an EC2 instance. EC2 Instance Storage is physically attached to the host server. So, if the hardware fails, there is a risk of data loss.
- EC2 Instance Store provides better I/O performance, which makes it ideal for applications like buffer storage, scratch storage, cache, and other temporary storage. It is also used to store temporary data that you replicate across a fleet of instances, e.g., a load-balanced pool of web servers.
- EC2 Instance Store does not carry separate charges; it is part of EC2 instance usage.
