What about the disk being reused by another process without being thoroughly wiped by AWS?

What about the disk being reused by another process without being thoroughly wiped by AWS?
- colonelpopcorn 4y agoThat's an interesting idea. I imagine they don't do DoD wipes of their disks because they are probably multi-tenant, right? Can a guest operating system do forensic analysis on the host disk?
- britneybitch 4y agoAWS wipes disks before reusing them (loosely speaking--an EBS volume doesn't correspond 1:1 to a physical disk). Forensic analysis of overwritten data requires disassembling the physical disk, so no, it's not possible.
- whoknew1122 4y agoDisks are wiped immediately before they are made available as a new volume. If your policies require a certain level of wipe, you should wipe the disk before releasing it.
