CloudZero has identified Amazon EBS volumes that may be underutilized based on AWS Trusted Advisor recommendations. These volumes may be over-provisioned and could benefit from downsizing to reduce storage costs.

Checks your Amazon EBS volume configurations and usage patterns to provide recommendations for potential cost savings through volume optimization.

For each resource, Trusted Advisor shows only the top recommended action from AWS Cost Optimization Hub.

For more information on implementing these recommendations, see the AWS Cloud Financial Management (CFM) Service Cost Optimization Playbook.

Use the detailed recommendations in AWS Compute Optimizer to understand the potential impact of these changes on cost and performance.

Recommended actions

• Review volume utilization metrics to identify over-provisioned storage
• Consider downsizing volumes with consistently low usage
• Evaluate opportunities to use different volume types for better cost efficiency
• Monitor performance impact after volume optimization changes
• Check if volumes are attached to running instances before making changes
• Consider snapshot creation before volume modifications
• Verify application requirements before reducing volume size
