a. Performance: EBS volumes exhibit diverse performance characteristics, providing users the flexibility to select the most suitable storage type for their specific workloads.

b. Snapshots: EBS facilitates snapshots, allowing for point-in-time backups of volumes. Snapshots serve the dual purpose of data recovery and the creation of new EBS volumes.

c. Encryption: EBS volumes can undergo encryption, heightening data security and aligning with compliance requirements.
