Amazon CloudWatch Agent now supports collecting detailed performance statistics for EBS volumes attached to EC2 and EKS nodes.
Users can monitor metrics such as IOPS, throughput, I/O wait time, and queue depth for EBS storage.
Steps to enable EBS metrics: Update config file, restart the CloudWatch agent, view custom metrics in CloudWatch, analyze the data, and take necessary actions.
Benefits include granular storage insights, real-time metrics, automation readiness, and compatibility with EC2 and EKS for VMs and containers.
