I have an EC2 instance that I'd like to take a snapshot of, to use as an AMI for future spot instances.
Because of the way I created volume for this instance, it is currently set to not delete upon termination.
I want it to delete on termination, so that I can use it for spot instances and not have residual volumes hanging around needing manual deletion.
I've combed AWS manual, stack exchange, google, etc and I can only find references to a 'delete on termination' flag, but no explanation of how to use it.
enable delete on termination, for example http://itsecureadmin.com/2011/06/aws-instance-ebs-volume-delete-on-termination/
