A user has stored data on an encrypted EBS volume. The user wants to share the data with his
friend’s AWS account. How can user achieve this?

A.
Create an AMI from the volume and share the AMI

B.
Copy the data to an unencrypted volume and then share

C.
Take a snapshot and share the snapshot with a friend

D.
If both the accounts are using the same encryption key then the user can share the volume
directly

Explanation:
AWS EBS supports encryption of the volume. It also supports creating volumes from existing
snapshots
provided the snapshots are created from encrypted volumes. If the user is having data on an
encrypted volume and is trying to share it with others, he has to copy the data from the encrypted
volume to a new unencrypted volume. Only then can the user share it as an encrypted volume
data. Otherwise the snapshot cannot be shared.
