The instance store is ideal for temporary storage, because the data stored in instance store volumes is not persistent through instance stops, terminations, or hardware failures. For data you want to retain longer, or if you want to encrypt the data, use Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes instead.
EBS and EFS are both faster than Amazon S3, with high IOPS and lower latency. EBS is scalable up or down with a single API call. Since EBS is cheaper than EFS, you can use it for database backups and other low-latency interactive applications that require consistent, predictable performance.
EBS is similar to hard disks but the only difference is that EBS is connected to virtual EC2 instances and it offers 20 times more reliability than normal hard disks. EFS is highly durable storage.
Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 are fundamentally different types of services. One allows you to run servers in the cloud with minimal effort on your part, while the other is designed for storing large amounts of static data and ideal for data backups.
S3 likes network storage, you can access it with web api ebs likes hard disk, you can access it in your ec2 you can also see, http://www.differencebetween.net/technology/internet/difference-between-amazon-s3-and-amazon-ebs/
