What it finds

GP2 Migration: one of the EBS checks in the storage optimization group. Checks in this group look for: storage that no workload reads, writes or needs any more: unattached volumes, stale snapshots and backups, data with no lifecycle rule.

Why it costs money

Storage bills per gigabyte-month whether or not anything uses it, and forgotten copies pile up quietly.

How it is detected

Volume type = gp2

Detection confidence: HIGH. This is the criterion from our public docs. It runs in a local scan with your own read-only credentials.

Run it yourself

Nothing leaves your machine. The local scan has no telemetry.
