How do I name my EBS volume?

A naming convention is a well-defined set of rules useful for choosing the name of an AWS resource. Cloud Conformity strongly recommends using the following pattern (default) for naming your EBS volumes: ^volume-(ue1|uw1|uw2|ew1|ec1|an1|an2|as1|as2|se1)-([1-2]{1})([a-c]{1})-(d|t|s|p)-([a-z0-9\-]+)$ .

In the Value box enter the value of the Name tag, value that must be defined based on Cloud Conformity pattern, e.g. ec2-us-west-1-2b-p-nginx.

How do I add EBS volume to EC2?

What is the volume name used to attach to AWS instance?

When you attach a volume to your instance, you include a device name for the volume. This device name is used by Amazon EC2. The block device driver for the instance assigns the actual volume name when mounting the volume, and the name assigned can be different from the name that Amazon EC2 uses.

The "name" field ist just a tag. To edit this, klick on your EBS volume, go to "Tags" in the lower panel and you will already find a tag "Name" there. Fill in your desired name as the value and it will also show up in the overview panel.

The "Name" that shows up in the AWS console is just a tag. This applies to AMIs, volumes, instances, etc..

You can change it from the command line using ec2-api-tools with following command:

ec2addtag <entity_id> --tag Name=<name>

You can install ec2-api-tools (Ubuntu) by calling:

sudo apt-get install ec2-api-tools
