Well, one easy way when using Ubuntu-like distributions is to simply place your `/home` folder on a separate (persistent) EBS volume [1].

With a few on-boot scripts to attach-volumes / start-containers, it should be fairly easy to get going as well.

This was exactly what I was thinking, why complicate things by replacing the root volume when one can simply mount the disk to any other directory and point the application there?
