I think the point is that a fast snapshot restore must be enabled on the snapshot in same AZ where the new volume will be "To get started, enable fast snapshot restore for specific snapshots in specific Availability Zones. Each snapshot and Availability Zone pair refers to one fast snapshot restore." "When you create a volume from one of these snapshots in one of its enabled Availability Zones, the volume is restored using fast snapshot restore." https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-fast-snapshot-restore.html https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-ebs-fast-snapshot-restore-fsr/
