Encrypting an Ephemeral Storage Parent topic

Note
For details about ephemeral storage, please refer to the Amazon EC2 documentation.
Instance Storage (a.k.a ephemeral storage) is one of the storage types provided by Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). The number and size of ephemeral storage depend on various instance type. An instance can at most have four ephemeral storages (ephemeral0, ephemeral1, ephemeral2, and ephemeral3).
SecureCloud supports and treats an Amazon EC2 ephemeral storage the same as a normal Amazon Elastic Block volume. An ephemeral storage has the same device status as other storage devices in SecureCloud.
The following convention is applied when naming the device name of an ephemeral storage: 
i-xxxxxxxxx:ephemeralX
Where:
  • i-xxxxxxxx is the instance ID
  • ephemeralx is the ephemeral number
For example:
ephmeral_devices.jpg
An ephemeral storage device becomes Undetected when the instance it is associated with is terminated. The Inventory > Device page refreshes a few minutes later to reflect the new device status.
