# aws\_volume\_attachment
Provides an AWS EBS Volume Attachment as a top level resource, to attach and
detach volumes from AWS Instances.
## Example Usage
```
resource "aws_volume_attachment" "ebs_att" {
device_name = "/dev/sdh"
volume_id = "${aws_ebs_volume.example.id}"
instance_id = "${aws_instance.web.id}"
}
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
ami = "ami-21f78e11"
availability_zone = "us-west-2a"
instance_type = "t1.micro"
tags {
Name = "HelloWorld"
}
}
resource "aws_ebs_volume" "example" {
availability_zone = "us-west-2a"
size = 1
}
```
## Argument Reference
The following arguments are supported:
* `device_name` - (Required) The device name to expose to the instance (for
example, `/dev/sdh` or `xvdh`)
* `instance_id` - (Required) ID of the Instance to attach to
* `volume_id` - (Required) ID of the Volume to be attached
* `force_detach` - (Optional, Boolean) Set to `true` if you want to force the
volume to detach. Useful if previous attempts failed, but use this option only
as a last resort, as this can result in **data loss**. See
[Detaching an Amazon EBS Volume from an Instance][1] for more information.
