Thrifty Block Storage Benchmark
Thrifty developers eliminate their unused and under-utilized block volume resources. This benchmark focuses on finding resources which are older than thresholds days, have large size, unused volumes.
Variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| block_storage_volume_snapshot_age_max_days | The maximum number of days snapshots can be retained. | 90 days |
| block_storage_volume_max_size_gb | The maximum size (GB) allowed for volumes. | 100 GB |
Usage
Install the mod:
mkdir dashboardscd dashboardspowerpipe mod initpowerpipe mod install github.com/turbot/steampipe-mod-digitalocean-thriftyStart the Powerpipe server:
steampipe service startpowerpipe serverOpen http://localhost:9033 in your browser and select Block Storage Volume Checks.
Run this benchmark in your terminal:
powerpipe benchmark run digitalocean_thrifty.benchmark.volumeSnapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:
powerpipe benchmark run digitalocean_thrifty.benchmark.volume --shareControls
- Large block storage volumes are unusual, expensive and should be reviewed.
- Block storage volumes attached to stopped droplets should be reviewed
- Block storage volume snapshots created over 90 days ago should be deleted if not required
