title: What is the max number of attached volumes per Amazon EC2 instance?
body: <p>I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS as the guest operating system.</p>
  
  <p>How many volumes can I attach to an instance? I'm working on a project which will require that each of our customer has its own volume.</p>
  
  <p>Amazon seems to not have dynamic volumes, so we need to create a new volume from a snapshot to grow an existing one. This operation requires server down time and that's unacceptable. This is why we need one volume per client. With a physical server, I'll put a 2TB drive and use quotas, but we don't want to go this way for now.</p>
