Amazon Elastic Block Store endpoints and quotas
The following are the service endpoints and service quotas for this service. To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. In addition to the standard AWS endpoints, some AWS services offer FIPS endpoints in selected Regions. For more information, see AWS service endpoints. Service quotas, also referred to as limits, are the maximum number of service resources or operations for your AWS account. For more information, see AWS service quotas.

Endpoints for the EBS direct APIs
Use the EBS direct APIs endpoints to directly read the data on your Amazon EBS snapshots, and identify the difference between two snapshots. For more information, see Use EBS direct APIs to access the contents of an Amazon EBS snapshot in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
