I created the instance from an image and the instance has an attached volume (it is NOT ephemeral). I checked that in this case it makes a volume snapshot (probably because the istance is attached to a volume) but also an empty image (why ?) In the case the instance is ethemeral (no volumes attached) , a not empty image is created.
