AWS Deployment Recommendation: Storage and Backup Options

L0 Member

 

I couldn't find the recommended storage options in AWS:

            1. C3 instance comes with ephemeral storage, which will be lost if instance is stopped. 

                    Is it the recommended approach to use instance store? or EBS?

            2. Backup in AWS: please share the best practices, can we shcedule recurring export into S3?

 

Thanks

The Palo Alto Networks AMIs in AWS are created using EBS-backed storage.  This provides persistency for the data stored on the root device and will allow the instance to be powered off without the data being deleted.

Don't use anything with ephemeral storage.  It is wasted.  PAN uses only EBS which I prefer.

 

Snapshots of EBS volumes are useless.  We had to write something to backup the PANs.  PAN support and documentation wasn't much help.
