EBS Volume Clones greatly decrease the time to replicate data on AWS

Do you have massive amounts of data on EBS that frequently need to get backed up or replicated for use in another env?

Sick of creating EBS Snapshots then using that to create your dev/test env volumes?

EBS now lets you skip that whole thing and just clone an existing EBS volume in a small fraction of the time.

AWS boasts a staggering 93% reduction in time to replicate an EBS volume using cloning over the former approach.

There are plenty of other use cases for cloning including, disaster recovery or decreasing your CI/CD build time.

My question for you:

How would you use EBS Volume Clones to enhance your infrastructure?
