OpenSearch waste check
OpenSearch EBS Overprovisioned
opensearch_ebs_overprovisioned
What it finds
OpenSearch EBS Overprovisioned: one of the OpenSearch checks in the database optimization group. Checks in this group look for: database capacity that is idle, oversized for its load, kept past its useful life, or priced on a mode that does not fit how it is used.
Why it costs money
Managed databases bill for provisioned instances, storage and backups around the clock, so unused or oversized capacity is a standing cost.
How it is detected
Runs in the partner build and the paid hosted tiers.
AWS's own tools
None of Trusted Advisor, Cost Optimization Hub or Compute Optimizer flags this.
Checked against the AWS documentation.
Where this check runs
This check ships in the partner build, for consultancies that scan client accounts, and in the paid hosted tiers.
