/**
*
* You can use the Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) direct APIs to create Amazon EBS snapshots, write data
* directly to your snapshots, read data on your snapshots, and identify the differences or changes between two
* snapshots. If you’re an independent software vendor (ISV) who offers backup services for Amazon EBS, the EBS direct
* APIs make it more efficient and cost-effective to track incremental changes on your Amazon EBS volumes through
* snapshots. This can be done without having to create new volumes from snapshots, and then use Amazon Elastic Compute
* Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances to compare the differences.
*
*
* You can create incremental snapshots directly from data on-premises into volumes and the cloud to use for quick
* disaster recovery. With the ability to write and read snapshots, you can write your on-premises data to an snapshot
* during a disaster. Then after recovery, you can restore it back to Amazon Web Services or on-premises from the
* snapshot. You no longer need to build and maintain complex mechanisms to copy data to and from Amazon EBS.
*
*
* This API reference provides detailed information about the actions, data types, parameters, and errors of the EBS
* direct APIs. For more information about the elements that make up the EBS direct APIs, and examples of how to use
* them effectively, see Accessing the Contents of an
* Amazon EBS Snapshot in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide. For more information about the
* supported Amazon Web Services Regions, endpoints, and service quotas for the EBS direct APIs, see Amazon Elastic Block Store Endpoints and
* Quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
