Thank you for your kind answer. I understand EBS as, in other words, virtualized storage, so then somewhere the logical block addresses have to be connected to actual physical storage devices, right? Then where and how is that mapping implemented? If you just give me the keywords, I’ll search for them myself.
Since I’m a freelance programmer, I mainly work on small-to-medium-sized projects, so I don’t know much about this kind of infrastructure programming.
