Creating an AWS Volume
Chapter 6 ■ Using Volumes
An awsElasticBlockStore volume mounts an AWS EBS volume into a pod. In this section we will create an
AWS EBS volume. Click on Create Volume in the EC2 Console as shown in Figure 6-5.
Figure 6-5. Begin by clicking Create Volume
The EBS volume must be created in the same availability zone as the EC2 instance on which a pod is to
mount the EBS volume. The availability zone is obtained from the EC2 console and is us-east-1c, as shown
in Figure 6-6.
Figure 6-6. Obtaining the availability zone
In the Create Volume dialog, set the Volume Type as General Purpose SSD (GP2) and the Size as 100
GiB. Set the Availability Zone as us-east-1c and click Create as shown in Figure 6-7.
