Description​

AWS EC2 Snapshot is a backup tool for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. It creates point-in-time copies of Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, preserving data at a specific moment. Users can restore snapshots to new EBS volumes, create images for launching new instances, or transfer data between AWS regions for disaster recovery and data migration purposes.
