BCreate a snapshot of the EBS volume separately after AMI creation

CCreate the AMI while the instance is running and the EBS volume is attached

Solution:

When creating an AMI, all attached EBS volumes are included if the instance is running.
Step 2: Clarify detaching or stopping effects
Detaching volumes excludes them; stopping instance is optional but not required to include data.

Create the AMI while the instance is running and the EBS volume is attached -> Option C
Quick Check:
Attached volumes included if instance running during AMI creation [OK]

Quick Trick: Keep EBS attached and instance running to include data in AMI [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Detaching volumes before AMI
Assuming stopping instance is required
Creating separate snapshots only
