Do the Amazon EBS volumes persist independently from the running life of an Amazon EC2 instance?
EBS volumes persist independently from the running life of an EC2 instance. After a volume is attached to an instance, you can use it like any other physical hard drive. EBS volumes are flexible.
C

I think it should be B.
Because by default EBS volumes gets deleted on termination of instance until they are checked not to do do while creating the instance.
You are right! I thought so as well.
That is root EBS volumes, not extra. And it is not terminated by default, I stay on A
B
c
Just a little reading will easily clarify the answer.
C is correct.
“EBS volumes persist independently from the running life of an EC2 instance.”
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumes.html
From the link provided above “An EBS volume is off-instance storage that can persist independently from the life of an instance.”
Plus if you actually logged into the console and tried it, you could stop guessing. The answer is “C”.
I wouldn’t be so cocky. Log in, create an ec2 instance, and uncheck “Delete on Termination”.
B
If you turn off the flag to “Delete on Termination” when creating the instance, the EBS instance will remain even after the EC2 instance is terminated. The answer is obviously B. I don’t know why you guys keep arguing C. Have you never built an instance before?
