Cloud Storage 101
summary
Compares storage types with concrete numbers and cloud examples: magnetic drives give about 600 IOPS, 2–20 MB/s throughput and ~4 ms latency; SSDs (SATA vs NVMe) reach up to 500,000 IOPS, ~20 µs latency and ~4 GB/s per NVMe device. Distinguishes block (EBS, managed disks, persistent disks), file (EFS, FSx, Azure Files, Cloud Filestore) and object (S3/GCS/Blob) storage, notes ephemeral instance storage is wiped at reboot, and explains archive tradeoffs like Glacier deep archive hours to restore versus always‑available cold tiers.
