Detect & correct EBS volumes with low IOPS

Overview

EBS volumes with lower than 16k base IOPS should be using gp3 rather than the more costly io1/io2 volumes types.

This pipeline detects io type EBS volumes with low IOPS and then either sends a notification or attempts to perform a predefined corrective action.

Getting Started

This control will work out-of-the-box with some sensible defaults (configurable via variables).

You should be able to simply run the following command in your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run detect_and_correct_ebs_volumes_with_low_iops

By default, Flowpipe runs in wizard mode and prompts directly in the terminal for a decision on the action(s) to take for each detected resource.

However, you can run Flowpipe in server mode with external integrations, allowing it to prompt for input via http, slack, teams, etc.

Alternatively, you can choose to configure and run in other modes:

  • Notify: Provides detections without taking any corrective action.
  • Automatic: Performs corrective actions automatically without user intervention.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.detect_and_correct_ebs_volumes_with_low_iops

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.detect_and_correct_ebs_volumes_with_low_iops
}
