- a list of volume dicts, each containing device name and optionally ephemeral id or snapshot id. Size and type (and number of iops for io device type) must be specified for a new volume or a root volume, and may be passed for a snapshot volume. For any volume, a volume size less than 1 will be interpreted as a request not to create the volume.
