The EC2 instances are frequently started and stopped. As part of the process when an EC2 instance starts, an EBS volume is restored from a snapshot.
EBS volumes that are restored from snapshots are experiencing initial performance that is lower than expected. The company's workload needs almost all the provisioned IOPS on the attached EBS volumes. The EC2 instances are unable to support the workload when the performance of the EBS volumes is too low. A SysOps administrator must implement a solution to ensure that the EBS volumes provide the expected performance when they are restored from snapshots.
