Storage Resources
Overview
The Storage Resources page provides a detailed view of all cloud-based storage services used in the infrastructure. It allows users to monitor storage utilization, security status, and cost analysis while offering sorting and filtering features for better resource management.
Key Metrics & Data Sections
1. Summary Metrics (Top Panel)
The top section displays key storage metrics:
Total Storage: The total amount of used storage across all instances (e.g.,
8.0 GB
).Storage Utilization: The percentage of allocated storage that is currently in use. If it reaches
100%
, users should monitor closely to avoid storage overuse.Encrypted Volumes: The number of storage volumes that are encrypted. A value of
0
suggests a security risk.Backup Enabled: Indicates how many storage volumes have backup enabled for data protection.
2. Storage Resources Table (Storage Breakdown)
The table below provides insights into each storage instance:
Name: The identifier of the storage instance.
Type: Specifies the storage type (e.g.,
s3
,ebs
).Region: Indicates the cloud region where the storage instance is hosted (e.g.,
us-east-1
,ap-south-1
).Size: Displays the total allocated storage capacity.
Used: The number of stored objects or data currently in use.
Performance: Describes the performance tier (e.g.,
STANDARD
for S3,gp3
for EBS).Security: Indicates whether the storage is encrypted (
Encrypted
orUnencrypted
).Backup Status: Shows if backups are enabled (
No Backup
if not secured).Cost/GB: The cost per gigabyte of storage.
Total Cost: The accumulated cost of the storage instance.
3. Filters & Sorting Options
Users can refine displayed storage resources using:
Search Bar: Allows searching by storage name or type.
Type Filter: Filters by storage type (
S3
,EBS
, etc.).Region Filter: Displays storage instances from a specific region.
Tier Filter: Helps identify performance-based storage tiers.
Sort by Usage: Sorts storage instances based on size, used storage, or cost.
4. Use Cases & Benefits
Storage Utilization Monitoring: Identify storage nearing full capacity and take preventive action.
Security & Compliance: Ensure critical storage is encrypted and backed up for data protection.
Cost Optimization: Track expensive storage types and optimize based on usage.
Performance Management: Identify high-performance storage instances (
gp3
) that may require scaling.
