getVolume

Specifies an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume. When you use AWS CloudFormation to update an Amazon EBS volume that modifies Iops , Size , or VolumeType , there is a cooldown period before another operation can occur. This can cause your stack to report being in UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS or UPDATE_ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS for long periods of time. Amazon EBS does not support sizing down an Amazon EBS volume. AWS CloudFormation does not attempt to modify an Amazon EBS volume to a smaller size on rollback. Some common scenarios when you might encounter a cooldown period for Amazon EBS include:

• You successfully update an Amazon EBS volume and the update succeeds. When you attempt another update within the cooldown window, that update will be subject to a cooldown period.

• You successfully update an Amazon EBS volume and the update succeeds but another change in your update-stack call fails. The rollback will be subject to a cooldown period. For more information, see Requirements for EBS volume modifications . DeletionPolicy attribute To control how AWS CloudFormation handles the volume when the stack is deleted, set a deletion policy for your volume. You can choose to retain the volume, to delete the volume, or to create a snapshot of the volume. For more information, see DeletionPolicy attribute .

If you set a deletion policy that creates a snapshot, all tags on the volume are included in the snapshot.
