Each instance has a root device volume.
Each volume has a volume ID.


A block device is a storage device that moves data in sequences of bytes or bits (blocks). These devices support random access and generally use buffered I/O. Examples include hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and flash drives. A block device can be physically attached to a computer or accessed remotely as if it were physically attached to the computer.  
Amazon Elastic Block Store volumes can be mounted directly into Kubernetes pods as [[Kubernetes_Storage_Concepts#awsElasticBlockStore|awsElasticBlockStore volumes]].

Overview

Amazon EBS provides persistent, block-level storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS cloud. Each Amazon EBS volume is automatically replicated within its Availability Zone to protect you from component failure. Amazon EBS volumes offer the consistent and low-latency performance.

EBS is not attached to the instance, the life cycle of storage is separated from the life cycle of the insurance. EBS chops the data into blocks and stores it across a number of physical disks. Volumes can be detached from an EC2 instance and attached to a different instance. A volume can be attached to only one instance.
