EBS volume was attached as ext4 on /opt/apps. There are currently no data on it. How to change filesystem type to xfs and assign a new mount point to /data?

This is not specific to AWS EBS. Amazon gives you a "disk" called EBS, attached to /dev/xvdb. Then, feel free to mount it anywhere (/opt/apps, or /data) and format it with the filesystem you want.
