Question

I have two questions regarding EC2 and EBS.

  1. Why do you need to create an EBS volume when creating an AMI ?
  2. Why when I create an instance that is c3.2xlarge and comes with 2x80 SSD from my AMI why don't those two 80G SSDs appear in my machine?
Was it helpful?

Solution

Why do you need to create an EBS volume when creating an AMI ?

Not necessary. You can create EBS backed AMI as well as Instance stored Backed AMIs. Read below links:

If your requirement is something specific, then please elaborate.
