EBS Volumes Facts

When you create an EBS volume in an Availability Zone, it is automatically replicated within that zone to prevent data loss due to a failure of any single hardware component.
An EBS volume can only be attached to one EC2 instance at a time.
After you create a volume, you can attach it to any EC2 instance in the same Availability Zone.
An EBS volume is off-instance storage that can persist independently from the life of an instance.
EBS volumes support live configuration changes while in production which means that you can modify the volume type, volume size, and IOPS capacity without service interruptions.
EBS encryption uses 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard algorithms (AES-256).
EBS Volumes offer 99.999% SLA.
