    10  
    11  Provides an AWS EBS Volume Attachment as a top level resource, to attach and
    12  detach volumes from AWS Instances.
    13  
    14  ## Example Usage
    15  
    16  ```
    17  resource "aws_volume_attachment" "ebs_att" {
    18    device_name = "/dev/sdh"
    19    volume_id = "${aws_ebs_volume.example.id}"
    20    instance_id = "${aws_instance.web.id}"
    21  }
    22  
    23  resource "aws_instance" "web" {
    24    ami = "ami-21f78e11"
    25    availability_zone = "us-west-2a"
    26    instance_type = "t1.micro"
    27    tags {
    28      Name = "HelloWorld"
    29    }
    30  }
    31  
    32  resource "aws_ebs_volume" "example" {
    33    availability_zone = "us-west-2a"
    34    size = 1
    35  }
    36  ```
    37  
    38  ## Argument Reference
    39  
    40  The following arguments are supported:
    41  
    42  * `device_name` - (Required) The device name to expose to the instance (for 
    43  example, `/dev/sdh` or `xvdh`)
    44  * `instance_id` - (Required) ID of the Instance to attach to
    45  * `volume_id` - (Required) ID of the Volume to be attached
    46  * `force_detach` - (Optional, Boolean) Set to `true` if you want to force the
    47  volume to detach. Useful if previous attempts failed, but use this option only 
    48  as a last resort, as this can result in **data loss**. See 
    49  [Detaching an Amazon EBS Volume from an Instance][1] for more information.
