Hello there,

You can accomplish this with the help of the [Amazon EBS CSI driver](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/ebs-csi.html) which helps you to manage the lifecycle of Amazon EBS volumes as storage for the Kubernetes Volumes that you create.  The driver supports two types of provisioning.
1. Static Provisioning - Associate an externally-created EBS volume with a PersistentVolume (PV) for consumption within Kubernetes. This suites your use case. Refer [example](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-ebs-csi-driver/tree/master/examples/kubernetes/static-provisioning) 
2. Dynamic Provisioning - Automatically create EBS volumes and associated PersistentVolumes (PV) from PersistentVolumeClaims) (PVC). Parameters can be passed via a StorageClass for fine-grained control over volume creation.
