Create Images
Create images (AMI) of EC2 instances.
reboot ensures that all buffered data and data in memory is written to the volumes before the snapshots are created.
If reboot is not specified, underlying snapshots only contain the data that has been written to the volumes. Buffered data and data in memory that has not yet been written to the volumes is not included in the snapshots.
reboot can cause service interruptions. Handle with caution in production and outside maintenance windows.
