Scenario
I currently have an EC2
instance with a root EBS
volume attached to it of 30gb and i have some files stored in that EBS
If i delete the EC2
instance and have delete on termination false then EBS
persists.
Desired outcome
I want to provision a new EC2
(provisioned by auto scaling group) instance such that it uses the old EBS
volume as its root volume which was detached as a result of me terminating the old instance
Note
I want to have the liberty of choosing OS of newly provisioned EC2
so creating an AMI
does not work
