Our Production environment is hosted on AWS. We run Jaspersoft which generates the reports for the users. <br />
My questions is how fast is S3 when compare to EBS. &nbsp;I understand EBS is faster compared to S3 but the problem why we can't use EBS in our scenario is because of the limitation that it can only be attached to a single instance and we're not sure in which instance the user request will be sent by the load balancer. <br />

Could someone please help.

S3 vs EBS

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.
