How to Create Elastic Block Store [EBS]

EBS as a virtual hard disk attached to an EC2 instance. You can: Create an EBS volume. Attach it to an EC2 instance. Format and mount it. Store files and data on it. Detach, resize, snapshot, or delete it when no longer needed. Real-world analogy EBS = an external hard drive for your cloud server. EC2 = the computer/server. Attach the drive, save files, remove it when done.
