Additional issue:
I didn't notice any information about restrictions about how you can secure your instance, are there any? Not allowing HTTP traffic is an example of how it might be restricted
Impact on the user
PMM is unusable
Steps to reproduce
Have an existing snapshot that you would like to have access to
Create a new AMI instance and add an additional volume using the extra snapshot
Wait for the instance to finish initialising
Attempt to access PMM via the UI
Actual result
A broken instance is created.
Expected Result
The extra volume is left alone
Workaround
N/A
Details
When wanting to test an AMI upgrade where the active AMI would send alerts, or potentially cause other issues, a reasonable option is to create a new instance with the extra volume for administrator use via SSH.
