Storage Lab-EBS.docx

EBS Lab Before, going into the lab, let’s fix this first. Do you remember, you were not getting the DNS when you did the EC2 assignment. That is totally fine as you can use IP address in place, but let’s make the changes to see the DNS. Make sure you enable the DNS settings. That’s it.

EBS Lab Storage Lab – EBS Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides block level storage volumes for use with EC2 instances. EBS volumes behave like raw, unformatted block devices. You can mount these volumes as devices on your instances. EBS volumes that are attached to an instance are exposed as storage volumes that persist independently from the life of the instance. You can create a file system on top of these volumes, or use them in any way you would use a block device (such as a hard drive). You can dynamically change the configuration of a volume attached to an instance. We recommend Amazon EBS for data that must be quickly accessible and requires long-term persistence. EBS volumes are particularly well-suited for use as the primary storage for file systems, databases, or for any applications that require fine granular updates and access to raw, unformatted, block-level storage. Amazon EBS is well suited to both database-style applications that rely on random reads and writes, and to throughput-intensive applications that perform long, continuous reads and writes.

When capturing each screenshot, be certain that your AWS account name is visible. Locate the name at the top-right corner of your AWS console. Pre-requisite for this lab : a.) Your file and folder names should start with <name>_<resource_name>. b.) All labs must be performed in US East (N.Virginia) us-east-1 region Learning Outcome:  Understands EBS and its applications.  Overview on creating and mounting the EBS volume to a Linux Server.

EBS Lab PART1: 1. Create an EC2 server. You can take reference from EC2Lab (Lab2 where we worked on EC2 and AMI) and follow the same steps till Step5. Note: In the Step4, select the private key that we created earlier instead of creating it again. If you don’t have it, create one. Once the instance is created, connect to the instance. For Mac users, please follow the instructions by clicking here or here For Windows users, please follow the instructions by clicking here or here After successful login to EC2 server, share the screenshot of the successful login and ec2 server dashboard with Networking tab. Note: This is a deliverable (Place the terminal/putty window as shown above)

EBS Lab PART 2: Create a Volume and attach it to EC2 server. 2. Make note of the availability zone in which your EC2 server is created. We are going to create a volume in the same availability zone as Amazon EBS volumes are Availability Zone specific. (You can find it in the networking tab of the ec2 dashboard) 3. Choose volumes from the left menu. Choose Create volume. Let’s create a 6 GiB volume. Availability zone should be the same as the ec2’s az. In my case, it’s us-east-1b. Choose Create volume. The volume is created in no time.
