Storage traffic competes with network traffic on the same path, so disk performance drops unpredictably under load.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Enable EBS optimization on the EC2 instance.

03

Fix

The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.

Applies to
EC2 Instances on AWS
The fix, by hand
  1. Confirm the instance is in the opt-in family list (see gate above); non-opt-in families abstain and never reach this remediation.
  2. Stop the EC2 instance.
  3. Modify instance attribute to enable EBS optimization.
  4. Start the instance.

These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
