Amazon has launched two new CloudWatch metrics, VolumeAvgReadLatency and VolumeAvgWriteLatency, to help you keep an eye on the performance of your Amazon EBS volumes. These metrics show the average time it takes for read and write operations, giving you a better idea of how fast data is being accessed and written on your volumes. This info can help you spot and fix any issues that might be slowing down your application.
With these new metrics, it’s now easier to track volume latency and take steps to keep your app running smoothly. The metrics provide per-minute averages for read and write latency, which you can view in CloudWatch. Plus, you can use CloudWatch to create custom dashboards and set up alarms to get alerts or even trigger actions automatically based on these latency numbers.
