Question

How would you migrate data from one EBS volume to another?

Answer 1

1. Create a Snapshot of the source volume:

   aws ec2 create-snapshot --volume-id vol-1234567890abcdef0 --description "Source volume snapshot" 

2. Create a new volume from the snapshot:

   aws ec2 create-volume --snapshot-id snap-1234567890abcdef0 --availability-zone us-west-2a
   

3. Attach the new volume to your instance:

   aws ec2 attach-volume --volume-id vol-abcdef1234567890 --instance-id i-1234567890abcdef0 --device /dev/sdf
