5. Create a Volume

Before creating volume we need to check the availability zone your ec2 instance because ec2 instance and volume should be in same availability zone.

Verify Availability Zone

Create a Volume

C:\Users\user>aws ec2 create-volume --volume-type gp2  --size 5 --availability-zone  ap-south-1a
{
    "AvailabilityZone": "ap-south-1a",
