One of the best features of Elastic Block Storage (EBS) volumes in AWS is the capability to incrementally “snapshot” these volumes to more durable S3 storage. Everyone knows that if you don’t create these snapshots, one day your production EBS volume will go “poof” and disappear. Is that why the standard AWS icon, nearby, for a snapshot looks vaguely like a toilet, as in “Without snapshots, that’s where your career will be”?
