Is it possible to attach an st1/sc1 volume as a root volume for an EC2 instance?

Question

Anirudh C S · Accepted Answer

It is not possible to attach HDD(st1 and sc1) as root volumes as the OS is present in the root volume and hence is constantly accessed for reading or writing. HDD having low IOPS is thus not suitable for root volume.
