What is the difference between creating an image and creating a snapshot?

Question

Shruthi J · Accepted Answer

Creating an AMI makes a full copy of an EC2 instance, including the operating system, launch settings and attached volumes, so you can launch new instances with the same setup. . A snapshot is just a backup of one EBS volume and is used to restore or create new volumes, not to launch instances.
