Why can't I see my EBS volume snapshots in S3

问题:

If EBS volume snapshots are stored in S3, then why can't I see them in the AWS Management Console? Am I missing something here?

回答1:

EBS snapshots are stored in S3 but not in a user-visible bucket.

To view your snapshots use the AWS api or they are in the EC2/Snapshots tab of the AWS Console. Something like: https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#s=Snapshots, depending on your region.

Did you try "refresh" from within the AWS management app (they have an icon for that I believe, I don't mean refresh your browser). This used to get me sometimes as it doesn't automatically refresh when things change (like adding a new volume, snapshot, etc)
