Not able to access the data on EBS in AWS

Question

Hi Guys,

I have data in EBS, but I am not able to read data. Is my data corrupted or lost?

Can someone help me regarding this?

Hi@akhtar,

You cannot access the data on EBS directly through a graphical interface in AWS console. You need to first attach the EBS volume to an EC2 instance. Once the volume is attached to an instance (Windows or Unix) you can write and read to it. It is been named as drive in windows and file in Linux.

Hope this will give you some idea.
