In Amazon EC2, how do I copy a EBS volume to another user?

Question

I have created an amazon EBS volume using my amazon credentials. My customer gave me his customer credentials so that I create for him an EC2 machinge with the disk I created attached, how do I do that?

I'm using the web console, if it matters

==================

Let me add that when I do create volume in my customer's account and put my snapshot id as snapshot I get "snapshot snap-1xyz1234" does not exist. Need I somehow tell that the snaphsot is another user's

Answer 1

This is possible. Look for "Modifying Snapshot Permissions" in the official docs.

Answer 2

The best way may be to start up an EC2 instance under each account, and copy it over the network. VM->VM network traffic is pretty fast, and more importantly free.
