In system design, choosing the right type of storage is critical for ensuring that applications meet their performance, reliability, and cost requirements. The two primary types of storage are ephemeral storage and persistent storage. This presentation explores the tradeoffs between these storage types, considering aspects such as performance, cost, durability, and use cases.

Ephemeral Storage refers to temporary storage that is typically tied to the lifecycle of an instance or a process. It is designed to store data that is transient and can be discarded after the instance or process terminates.

Persistent Storage refers to long-lasting storage that remains intact and retains data even after the instance or process is terminated. It is designed for storing data that must be preserved and available across restarts and failures.
