Having the EBS volume management commands available in the Fleet Manager makes storage management easier and reduces the need to directly connect to instances via SSH or RDP. Additionally, Fleet Manager also provides publicly available SSM Documents that automate platform-specific operations like mounting, formatting, and creating partitions which not only save time and effort but provide a better way to manage volumes across your entire server fleet.
