Storage Blog
The article discusses how to use Amazon EBS detailed performance statistics to gain real-time insights into storage performance and troubleshoot potential issues.
- New EBS detailed performance statistics provide sub-minute granularity for monitoring EBS volume performance
- Requires using an EC2 Nitro instance and the ebsnvme script to collect detailed metrics
- Two key scenarios demonstrated:
- Identifying unresponsive EBS volumes by tracking I/O operations
- Detecting performance bottlenecks when exceeding provisioned IOPS limits
- Metrics help users:
- Monitor latency, throughput, and IOPS in real-time
- Proactively identify and resolve storage performance issues
The solution provides enhanced observability for latency-sensitive applications by offering granular insights into EBS volume performance.
