When an EC2 instance mat is backed by an S3-Based AMI is terminated, what happens to the data on the root volume?
Data is automatically deleted
Data is automatically saved as an EBS snapshot.
Data is unavailable until the instance is restarted
Data is automatically saved as an EBS volume.
Explanations:
When an EC2 instance backed by an S3-based AMI is terminated, the root volume data is automatically deleted, as it’s not stored as an EBS volume.
Data is not saved as an EBS snapshot automatically when the instance is terminated. S3-backed AMIs do not involve snapshots of EBS volumes.
Data is not unavailable; it’s deleted upon termination, so there’s no need for a restart to access it.
Data is not saved as an EBS volume because the root volume in an S3-backed AMI is ephemeral and is deleted upon termination.
I map out that the answer is:
Data is automatically deleted
