EC2 and EBS architecture sketch with mount and backup notes.

Topic Hub

Amazon Web Services

AWS infrastructure notes with emphasis on EC2, EBS layout, persistence, and operational verification.

AWS operations reward careful planning and punish assumptions. This hub focuses on compute and storage patterns that teams still inherit, with modern caveats to keep maintenance realistic.

Reading order

  1. Set up DB server on EC2 with XFS-formatted EBS data volume
  2. Data moves playbook
  3. Migration patterns

Common pain points

  • Device naming changes after reboot.
  • fstab options hide timeout and boot-order issues.
  • Snapshot strategy ignores restore test cadence.
