/AWS1/CL_EC2=>DESCRIBEVOLUMES()

About DescribeVolumes

Describes the specified EBS volumes or all of your EBS volumes.

If you are describing a long list of volumes, we recommend that you paginate the output to make the list more manageable. For more information, see Pagination.

For more information about EBS volumes, see Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon EBS User Guide.

We strongly recommend using only paginated requests. Unpaginated requests are susceptible to throttling and timeouts.

The order of the elements in the response, including those within nested structures, might vary. Applications should not assume the elements appear in a particular order.
