title: Amazon EC2 ebs vs gp2 ami
body: <p>It's probably a silly question, but I can't understand the difference between these 2 amazon linux 2 amis: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>ami-7105540e amzn2-ami-hvm-2.0.20180622.1-x86_64-ebs </li>
  <li>ami-b70554c8 amzn2-ami-hvm-2.0.20180622.1-x86_64-gp2</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Judging by this <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolumeTypes.html" rel="noreferrer">article</a>, isn't <code>gp2</code> just another <code>ebs</code> instance type?</p>
