title: Can we mount a AMI snapshot to a local machine?
body: <ol>
  <li><p>I want to determine a snapshot associated with a given AMI-ID, then mount a copy of that snapshot onto the local machine(and not AWS Instance).</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>I am using boto to get the snapshot-id from the AMI-ID</p>
  <p>image = conn.get_image(ami)<br>
  snapshot_id = image.block_device_mapping.current_value.snapshot_id</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>Is it possible to mount a snapshot to a local machine and not a EC2-instance ?</p>
