A user has launched an EC2 instance from an instance store backed AMI. If the user restarts the instance, what will happen to the ephemeral storage data?
A.
All the data will be erased but the ephemeral storage will stay connected
B.
All data will be erased and the ephemeral storage is released
C.
It is not possible to restart an instance launched from an instance store backed AMI
Suggested Answer:D🗳️
A user can reboot an EC2 instance using the AWS console, the Amazon EC2 CLI or the Amazon EC2 API. Rebooting an instance is equivalent to rebooting an operating system. However, it is recommended that the user use Amazon EC2 to reboot the instance instead of running the operating system reboot command from the instance. When an instance launched from an instance store backed AMI is rebooted all the ephemeral storage data is still preserved.
When an instance is restarted, the instance's state is preserved, including the data stored in the ephemeral storage. The instance retains the same instance ID and internal IP address, and the data stored in the ephemeral storage remains intact.
