• EBS (Elastic Block Storage) provides persistent block storage for EC2 instances.
• EFS (Elastic File System) provides a scalable and fault-tolerant network file system (NFSv4).
• FSx (File System for Windows File Server) provides a fully-managed Windows File Server.
• S3 (Simple Storage Service) provides highly scalable and fault-tolerant object storage.
