Investigate Volume Cloning
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Volume Cloning and creating a new volume from existing volume is a feature supported by CSI 1.0. We should investigate whether it is beneficial to EBS
Describe the solution you'd like in detail TBD

I am also interested in CSI Volume Cloning feature. Is it supported or not?

Currently, EBS doesn't support volume cloning. The driver can add support for cloning if/when EBS adds support for this.
Thank you for your interest. For copying volumes, we recommend that customers take a snapshot of their volume and create a new volume (the copy) from that snapshot. Can you provide details on your use case for volume cloning?
@ksliu58 I could of using this feature today to restore a PV for our Jenkins deployment. I was redoing some stuff on the Jenkins helm chart and storageClass and wanted it to reattach to the previous volume. I could of quickly use this to create a new PVC from the existing one so it would be attached to this helm deployment. I used the work around and created a volume snapshot of the existing volume and use that with dataSource restore, but takes longer having to wait for AWS to create the snapshot etc.
