What it finds

Idle FSx: one of the FSx 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

Runs in the partner build and the paid hosted tiers.

Where this check runs

This check ships in the partner build, for consultancies that scan client accounts, and in the paid hosted tiers.
