Updated over 6 months ago

Difficulty: Medium

We identified several EBS volumes in your account using the io1 storage type. This storage type is designed for high-performance workloads. However, according to current configuration, the GP3 storage type will be more cost-effective with the similar performance.

Selection Criteria

  • The EBS volume uses the io1 storage type.

  • The EBS volume has been in constant use for the last 7 days.

  • The EBS volume has a provisioned IOPS of less than 16,000.
