The debate over the optimal storage solution has been ongoing. Local instance storage on AWS (i.e. ephemeral NVMe disk attached to EC2 instance) brings remarkable cost-performance ratios. It offers 20 times better performance and 10 times lower access latency than EBS. It’s a powerhouse for quick, ephemeral storage needs. In simple words, local NVME disk is very fast and relatively cheap, but not scalable and not persistent.

Recently, Vantage posted an article titled “Don’t use EBS for Cloud Native Services“. We agree with this problem statement, however we also strongly believe that there is a better solution that using Local NVMe SSD Storage on AWS as an alternative to EBS. Local NVMe to EBS is not like comparing apples to apples, but more like apples to oranges.

The Local Instance NVMe Storage Advantage

Local storage on AWS excels in speed and cost-efficiency, delivering performance that’s 20 times better and latency that’s 10 times lower compared to EBS. For certain workloads with temporary storage needs, it’s a clear winner. But, let’s acknowledge the reasons why data centers have traditionally separated storage and compute.
