Orca Best Practices

Description

General Purpose SSD volumes offer cost-effective storage that is ideal for a broad range of workloads. Provisioned IOPS SSD is supposed to be used if you want to provide high performance for mission-critical, low-latency, or high-throughput workloads. It was detected that {AwsEc2EbsVolume} is using {AwsEc2EbsVolume.VolumeType} volume type which increases the expenses.

Recommended Mitigation

It is recommended to change the volume type to General Purpose SSD in order to lower the cost, unless this volume is mission-critical. For more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/requesting-ebs-volume-modifications.html
