Explanation: Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) provides block level (file system type) storage volumes for use
with Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon EBS volumes are highly available and reliable storage volumes that can be attached to any running instance that is in the same Availability Zone. Amazon EBS volumes that are attached to an Amazon EC2 instance are exposed as storage volumes that persist independently from the life of the instance.
