We can determine the root device type (EBS-backed or instance store-backed) of an EC2 server by below two way:-
1. By using the console:-
Open the Amazon EC2 console --> Select the instance --> Description tab --> Check the value of Root device type
• If the value is ebs, this is an Amazon EBS-backed instance.
• If the value is instance store, this is an instance store-backed instance.
From the below example you can easily find that my sever root volume type is ebs
2. By using the AWS CLI:-
AWS CLI tool must be install already in your system to run the below command.
Run the below command in your EC2 server
[root@ip-172-31-94-201 ~]# aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids i-0b548c810ecf24b02

[root@ip-172-31-94-201 ~]# aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids i-0b548c810ecf24b02
then you will get output like below
"Architecture": "x86_64",
"RootDeviceType": "ebs",
"RootDeviceName": "/dev/xvda",
"VirtualizationType": "hvm",
"Tags": [
{
"Value": "Production",
"Key": "Name"
}
