Recycle Bin for Amazon EBS, which helps you recover accidentally deleted snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs, now supports EBS Volumes. If you accidentally delete a volume, you can now recover it directly from Recycle Bin instead of restoring from a snapshot, reducing your recovery point objective with no data loss between the last snapshot and deletion. Your recovered volume can immediately achieve the full performance without waiting for data to download from snapshots.
To use Recycle Bin, you can set a retention period for deleted volumes, and you can recover any volume within that period. Recovered volumes are immediately available and will retain all attributes—tags, permissions, and encryption status. Volumes not recovered are deleted permanently when the retention period expires. You create retention rules to enable Recycle Bin for all volumes or specific volumes, using tags to target which volumes to protect.
EBS Volumes in Recycle Bin are billed at the same price as EBS Volumes, read more on the pricing page. To get started, read the documentation. The feature is now available through the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS SDKs, or the AWS Console in all AWS commercial, China, and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.
