Final answer:

Amazon EBS volumes are not considered ephemeral storage.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes are not considered ephemeral storage. Ephemeral storage refers to temporary storage that is tied to an instance's lifecycle and is lost when the instance is stopped or terminated. On the other hand, Amazon EBS volumes provide durable block-level storage that persists independently of the instance lifecycle. This means that data stored in EBS volumes is not lost when an instance is stopped or terminated. EBS volumes can be attached to a new instance and the data can be accessed again.
