EC2 EBS is not optimized misconfiguration detected in code

Rule Details

Cortex AppSec Rule ID	APPSEC_AWS_135
Category - Subcategory	Storage - Redundancy
Provider	AWS
Severity	LOW
Framework	Ansible, Terraform, Terraform Plan

Impact

Ensuring that EC2 instances are EBS-optimized will help to deliver enhanced performance for EBS workloads. They provide dedicated throughput to Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes, which can result in improved EBS performance. Additionally, EBS-optimized instances use a separate network connection for EBS traffic, which can reduce network latency and improve the performance of EBS-intensive workloads.

How to Fix

In this example, ebs_optimized is set to true that helps improve performance and latency.
