A user has launched an EC2 instance from an instance store backed AMI. The user has attached an additional instance store volume to the instance. The user wants to create an AMI

from the running instance. Will the AMI have the additional instance store volume data?

A. Yes, the block device mapping will have information about the additional instance store volume

B. No, since the instance store backed AMI can have only the root vol

ume bundled

C. It is not possible to attach an additional instance store volume to the existing instance store backed AMI instance

D. No, since this is ephermal storage it will not be a part of the AMI

Explanation:

When the user has launched

an EC2 instance from an instance store backed AMI and added an instance store volume to the instance in addition to the root device volume, the block device mapping for the new AMI contains the information for these volumes as well. In addition, the block

device mappings for the instances those are launched from the new AMI will automatically contain information for these volumes.
