EC2 Instance Store is ideal for use cases that require high-performance data access and fast data transfer rates, such as transaction processing, web applications, and Hadoop clusters. EC2 Instance Store can provide higher I/O performance compared to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, but it has some limitations.
