Your company has a set of EC2 Instances. There is a requirement to ensure that all EBS volumes, both root and data, must be preserved even after the instance is terminated. How can you achieve this?

Answer options:

A.Set the DisableApiTermination attribute on the EC2 Instance to True.
B.Set the DeletionOnTermination attribute for the volumes to True.
C.Set the DisableApiTermination attribute on the EC2 Instance to False.
D.Set the DeleteOnTermination attribute for the volumes to False.

Correct Answer: D
The AWS Documentation mentions the following.
When an instance terminates, Amazon EC2 uses the value of the DeleteOnTermination attribute for each attached Amazon EBS volume to determine whether to preserve or delete the volume.
By default, the DeletionOnTermination attribute for the root volume of an instance is set to true. Therefore, the default is to delete the root volume of an instance when the instance terminates.
Options A and C are incorrect since these are used for the EC2 Instance.
