You have to manually delete it. I have a blog post (a really long one that I need to get out) that shows how to use the AWS API from the command line and change the AMI (you need your own copy but that's easy to do) so that the volume gets deleted on termination. You *can* attach the volume to a new AMI if you need anything off of it.<br /><br />If you kept John's old AMI running (as I have as I used it to write my book chapter and I am *not* going through the pain of installing ODI 11.1.1.5 unless I must) you could STOP it, and create your own AMI. I have done this. <br /><br />You need (unfortunately) to be cognizant of AWS' EC2 three drive states:<br />1) Stopped -- A server instance is stopped and can be restarted at any time.<br />2) Running -- A server instance is running.<br />3) Terminated -- A server instance is shut down and destroyed. <br /><br />In the case of #3 as I wrote above, there is no way to use that volume to start back up. (Okay, if you have a bigger brain than me, you can reattach detached volumes, I think, but that's beyond what I can intelligently talk about. I'm sure you can find something like that on the web).<br /><br />I hope that helps and I'm glad that you're finding it useful. I *love* AWS. Amazon ought to be paying *me* for my proselytizing. I guess they really ought to be paying John. :)<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Cameron LackpourCameron Lackpourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07701786303677521318noreply@blogger.com
