AWS EBS Quiz

How can you share an encrypted snapshot with another AWS account?

• Make the snapshot public so the other accounts will access it

• Send your CMK keys to the other AWS accounts so they can access your snapshot

• Ensure it is not encrypted with your default CMK keys, mark the snapshot as private, and then enter the other AWS account and give them permissions to the encryption key used

• You can't share your own encrypted snapshots , you have to convert it to un-encrypted first before sharing

You want to use the EBS volume you have in region A, in another region B, how can you migrate the volume to another region?

• Create a snapshot of the volume and use it to create a new volume in the new region

• Create a snapshot of the volume, copy the snapshot and specify the new region during the copy process, create a new volume from the copied snapshot in the new region

• You can not move EBS volumes between regions

• Create a snapshot of the EBS volume and make it public that all regions can use it

EBS encryption is

• Enable by default on all EBS volumes

• Supported on all EC2 instance types

• Supported on all EBS volumes types

• Supported only by EBS snapshots

You have an EBS volume that is the root volume of an EC2 instance, and you want to take a snapshot, how can you do this while ensuring consistency between EBS volume an snapshots?

• You can't take a snapshot of a EBS that is an EC2 instance boot volume
