AWS EBS

Overview

Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store) is a fully managed block storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows you to create and attach persistent block storage volumes to Amazon EC2 instances, providing scalable and high-performance storage for your applications.

Prerequisites

You can check the list of prerequisites required for AWS SNS here. These are the same for any other AWS service that you need to monitor using AIOps. Move to the section Adding AWS resources for Monitoring on the above link to view the prerequisites for AWS resource monitoring.
