What is an EBS Snapshot?
- The operating system on an EC2 Instance
- A backup of your EBS Volume at a point in time
- The amount of CPU and RAM of an EC2 Instance
- A backup of your EBS Volume at a point in time
EBS Snapshots are used to backup data on your EBS Volumes at a point in time.
Where can you find a third party’s AMI so you can use it to launch your EC2 Instance?
