Spin up AWS host with specific EBS volume

Question

I'm looking to spin up a new Amazon EC2 instance with a specific EBS volume. I see that currently you can spin up a new host with a SnapshotId which would create a NEW EBS volume based upon the snapshot, but because of how we are managing our EBS volumes, it would be ideal if I could use the already existing EBS volume.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Answer 1

You can attach an existing EBS volume to an instance within the same availability zone. You can only attach an EBS volume to one instance at a time.
