Azure Disk Storage vs Amazon EBS

Developers should use Azure Disk Storage when deploying applications on Azure VMs that require reliable, scalable storage for operating systems, databases, or file systems meets developers should use amazon ebs when they need durable, low-latency storage for applications running on ec2 instances, such as databases, enterprise applications, or boot volumes. Here's our take.

Azure Disk Storage

Nice Pick

Developers should use Azure Disk Storage when deploying applications on Azure VMs that require reliable, scalable storage for operating systems, databases, or file systems

Pros

  • +It is essential for scenarios like running SQL Server, SAP HANA, or other I/O-intensive workloads in the cloud, as it offers performance SLAs and integration with Azure Backup for disaster recovery
  • +Related to: azure-virtual-machines, azure-storage-accounts

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Amazon EBS

Developers should use Amazon EBS when they need durable, low-latency storage for applications running on EC2 instances, such as databases, enterprise applications, or boot volumes

Pros

  • +It is essential for scenarios requiring data persistence beyond the lifecycle of an instance, like transactional systems or data analytics, and offers flexibility with features like snapshots for backups and the ability to resize volumes dynamically
  • +Related to: amazon-ec2, aws-storage-gateway

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Azure Disk Storage if: You want it is essential for scenarios like running sql server, sap hana, or other i/o-intensive workloads in the cloud, as it offers performance slas and integration with azure backup for disaster recovery and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Amazon EBS if: You prioritize it is essential for scenarios requiring data persistence beyond the lifecycle of an instance, like transactional systems or data analytics, and offers flexibility with features like snapshots for backups and the ability to resize volumes dynamically over what Azure Disk Storage offers.

The Bottom Line
Azure Disk Storage wins

Developers should use Azure Disk Storage when deploying applications on Azure VMs that require reliable, scalable storage for operating systems, databases, or file systems
