ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, with read-only access to the account.
Explain
Every finding says exactly what to change: Enable EBS optimization on the EC2 instance.
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
- Confirm the instance is in the opt-in family list (see gate above); non-opt-in families abstain and never reach this remediation.
- Stop the EC2 instance.
- Modify instance attribute to enable EBS optimization.
- Start the instance.
These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
