Deleting an Amazon EBS Volume while terminating an EC2 instance

Deleting Amazon EBS Volume
When we create an EC2 instance it uses EBS volume. By default settings, the EBS volume doesn't get deleted when you terminate the instance and keep on burning dollars.
DELETE IT!! Check the option to delete it once the instance is terminated.
Also, start tagging all of your AWS resources to make it easier when you search for them...and create metrics reports.
