EC2 Snapshot

An EC2 Snapshot is a point-in-time copy of your Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) volumes, allowing you to back up the state of your data at a specific moment. Snapshots are stored in Amazon S3, and you can use them to create new EBS volumes or replicate data across different AWS regions for disaster recovery and data redundancy. For more detailed information, you can refer to the official AWS EC2 Snapshot documentation.

ec2-volume​

EC2 Snapshots are directly related to EC2 Volumes, as they are essentially backups of these volumes. When you create an EC2 Snapshot, you are capturing the state of an EC2 Volume at that point in time. This allows you to restore the volume to a previous state or create a new volume from the snapshot, ensuring data integrity and continuity in case of data loss or corruption.
