ISSUE - Adding EBS Volume forces EC2 Replacement

[cfsb-jrose]

Description

Re-raising https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-ec2-instance/issues/401 as it is still an issue.

If your request is for a new feature, please use the Feature request template.

• [x] ✋ I have searched the open/closed issues and my issue is not listed.

⚠️ Note

Before you submit an issue, please perform the following first:

1. Remove the local .terraform directory (! ONLY if state is stored remotely, which hopefully you are following that best practice!): rm -rf .terraform/
2. Re-initialize the project root to pull down modules: terraform init
3. Re-attempt your terraform plan or apply and check if the issue still persists

Additional context

While the workaround noted in https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-ec2-instance/issues/401 does mitigate the risk of replacing EC2 instances, it doesn't solve the issue from a CloudOps/DevOps perspective. A better solution would be to create a sub-module to handle EBS volumes and attachments.
