EBS-backed AMI: The root volume is an EBS volume. It allows for stopping the instance and saving the state.
Instance Store-backed AMI: The root volume is an instance store. Data on an instance store volume persists only during the lifetime of the instance. If the instance is stopped or terminated, the data is lost.
