Pre-requisite: AWS, EC2, and EBS

Elastic Block Store is a type of storage in AWS. It behaves like a virtual hard drive device in AWS and it is persistent storage. In EC2- The instance root volume will be destroyed when we terminate the EC2 instance, as well as data, will also be deleted. That’s why we attach extra volume with our EC2-Instance for the data availability it does not matter EC2 instance is terminated or not. we can easily be attached or de-attached with any EC2 instance but we can use once at a time EBS volume with one EC2 Instance.
