The two AWS services that can be used to store files are Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS).
Amazon S3: It is a highly scalable, durable, and secure object storage service that can store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web. It is designed to store and retrieve data from websites, mobile applications, corporate applications, and data archives. Amazon S3 provides easy-to-use management features and supports multiple access methods, including REST, SOAP, and AWS SDKs.
Amazon EBS: It is a block-level storage service that provides persistent block-level storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EBS volumes are designed for use with EC2 instances and offer low-latency access to data. They can be attached to and detached from running instances and offer options for backup and replication to ensure data durability.
Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring service that can be used to collect and track metrics, collect and monitor log files, and set alarms. AWS Config is a service that helps you assess, audit, and evaluate the configuration of your AWS resources. Amazon Athena is a serverless query service that enables you to analyze data in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. None of these services can be used to store files.
