Amazon EBS snapshots, AMIs and migrating instances

The Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides resizable block-based storage volumes for Amazon C2 instances. If you work with EC2 you'll need to understand how to work with snapshots, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and how to migrate instances between Availability Zones.
This is also core knowledge for many AWS certification exams including the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator Associate certification. Watch this video to learn how to work with EBS volumes, snapshots, AMIs, and Amazon EC2 instances.

Good video. It seems though that we created snapshot and instance twice?

[@francesd919]

In the video, he created a snapshot of a EBS Volume, and then he stopped the instance and created another EBS volume snapshot...??

Perfect

[@lausk9613]

Can I create a volume from snapshot and mount it to the same instance? Basically I want to restore an ec2 from backup snapshot
