Servers run out of disk at the worst possible moment — the fix is storage you can grow on demand. For this AWS task I created, attached, and verified additional EBS volumes on EC2 instances, expanding capacity cleanly without rebuilding the server.
The approach: provision the EBS volume, attach it to the running instance, then format, mount, and confirm it as usable storage — and document the procedure step by step so it is repeatable by the team rather than locked in one person's head. Getting attachment and mounting right is what separates added capacity from a corrupted volume.
The outcome is scalable, well-managed block storage and a documented runbook for doing it again safely. Reliable storage management like this is part of the AWS infrastructure work I deliver for clients.
Stack: AWS EC2, EBS, Linux storage management, infrastructure documentation.
