AMI appears to break with an additional volume

Description

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.

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
