# Reduce AWS Volume for All Instances
## Summary
Optimize AWS infrastructure costs by reducing the allocated EBS volume sizes for EC2 instances that were initially provisioned with higher storage requirements during the installation of Frappe Insights.
## Description
As a **System Administrator**, I want to reduce the EBS volume sizes of EC2 instances that no longer require the initially allocated storage so that AWS infrastructure costs are optimized without impacting application performance or data integrity.
During the Frappe Insights installation, larger EC2 volumes were provisioned to accommodate installation and setup activities. After successful deployment, these volumes can be resized or migrated to smaller volumes based on the current disk utilization.
## Business Value
- Reduce AWS infrastructure costs.
- Optimize storage utilization across EC2 instances.
- Improve resource efficiency.
- Eliminate unused storage allocation.
## Scope
- Review current EBS volume utilization for all EC2 instances.
- Identify oversized volumes.
- Create snapshots of existing volumes for backup.
- Provision appropriately sized EBS volumes.
- Attach new volumes and validate application functionality.
- Remove unused volumes after successful validation.
- Update infrastructure documentation.
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Disk utilization analysis is completed for all EC2 instances.
- [ ] Snapshots are created before making any storage changes.
- [ ] EBS volumes are resized or replaced with smaller volumes based on actual usage.
- [ ] All applications and services remain operational after the change.
- [ ] No data loss occurs during the migration process.
- [ ] Unused EBS volumes are deleted.
- [ ] AWS storage costs are reduced.
- [ ] Infrastructure documentation is updated.
## Risks
- Data loss if snapshots are not created.
- Temporary service interruption during volume replacement.
- Incorrect volume sizing leading to insufficient storage.
- Rollback may be required if validation fails.
## Definition of Done
- EBS volumes are successfully optimized.
- Applications are functioning normally.
- Old volumes are removed.
- Storage costs are reduced.
- Documentation is updated.
