Amazon EC2 instance store provides temporary block-level storage that is directly attached to the Amazon EC2 instance. It is referred to as "ephemeral" because the data stored in the instance store volumes is not persistent and is deleted when the EC2 instance is stopped or terminated.
Instance store volumes are physically attached to the host server where the EC2 instance is running. They provide high I/O performance and low-latency access, making them suitable for applications that require temporary storage, caching, or scratch space. However, it is important to note that the data stored in instance store volumes cannot be easily recovered once the EC2 instance is stopped or terminated.
