  • Monitor I/O latency of Amazon EBS volumes

    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…

  • Monitor EBS volume peformance using Cloudwatch

    Measuring IOPS and Throughput performance has been complex due to numberof underlying metrics that are needed to be analyzed.The complexity arises due to the following factors: Different AWS EC2 instance types have varying maximum IOPS and throughput capabilities. If the instance’s limits are lower than the EBS volume’s capabilities, your measurements will be capped by…
