I want to add persistence to my Weaviate Instance that I am planning to set up in AWS ECS. I can add persistence using **volumes** section.  
Is there any way that I can add persistence when container created in AWS ECS. It can either be AWS S3 or EBS.  
Please suggest here.

Hi!

From Weaviate side, as long as it can write on the folder defined in [PERSISTENCE\_DATA\_PATH](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/config-refs/env-vars), it should work.

Now, in order to guarantee performance, I don’t think that S3 is an option 🤔

So EBS should be better.

Please, let me know if this helps 🙂

Thanks!
