AWS v6.71.0 published on Friday, Mar 7, 2025 by Pulumi
pulumi/pulumi-aws

    Provides an AWS EBS Volume Attachment as a top level resource, to attach and detach volumes from AWS Instances.

    NOTE on EBS block devices: If you use ebs_block_device on an aws.ec2.Instance, this provider will assume management over the full set of non-root EBS block devices for the instance, and treats additional block devices as drift. For this reason, ebs_block_device cannot be mixed with external aws.ebs.Volume + aws.ec2.VolumeAttachment resources for a given instance.

    Example Usage

    import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

const web = new aws.ec2.Instance("web", {
    ami: "ami-21f78e11",

    tags: {
        Name: "HelloWorld",
    },
});
const example = new aws.ebs.Volume("example", {
    availabilityZone: "us-west-2a",
    size: 1,
});
const ebsAtt = new aws.ec2.VolumeAttachment("ebs_att", {
    deviceName: "/dev/sdh",
    volumeId: example.id,
    instanceId: web.id,
});

    VolumeAttachment Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The VolumeAttachment resource accepts the following input properties:

    DeviceName string
    The device name to expose to the instance (for example, /dev/sdh or xvdh). See Device Naming on Linux Instances and Device Naming on Windows Instances for more information.
    InstanceId string
    ID of the Instance to attach to
    VolumeId string
    ID of the Volume to be attached
    ForceDetach bool
    Set to true if you want to force the volume to detach. Useful if previous attempts failed, but use this option only as a last resort, as this can result in data loss. See Detaching an Amazon EBS Volume from an Instance for more information.
    SkipDestroy bool
    Set this to true if you do not wish to detach the volume from the instance to which it is attached at destroy time, and instead just remove the attachment from this provider state. This is useful when destroying an instance which has volumes created by some other means attached.
    StopInstanceBeforeDetaching bool
    Set this to true to ensure that the target instance is stopped before trying to detach the volume. Stops the instance, if it is not already stopped.
    DeviceName string

    InstanceId string
    ID of the Instance to attach to
    VolumeId string
    ID of the Volume to be attached
    ForceDetach bool
