Elastic Block Storage ( EBS) : It is a block level storage volume which is attached to the EC2 instances, This storage is persistent in nature and available throughout the life of an instance. It is highly available and reliable. You can also choose specific EBS volume with the required IOPS.
Simple Storage Service ( S3) : S3 is a cloud file storage service (more akin to) DropBox or GoogleDrive. It is object storage and can be accessed over internet via REST API’s. You can Store and retrieve any amount of data which is of any type Up to 5TB size per object. The container for objects stored in Amazon S3 is called an Amazon S3 bucket. It is very much secured.
