volume_mute
Use a standard EBS volume type with large capacity to increase IOPS and throughput performance to meet your requirements
Use a new EBS volume type which can give the same IOPS and throughput but with a smaller volume size

Correct Answer

Use a new EBS volume type which can give the same IOPS and throughput but with a smaller volume size

Explanation

With some EBS volume types, you need to expand capacity to increase IOPS and throughput performance to meet your requirements. Some of your over-provisioned volumes can be a result of this configuration requirement. In many cases, a newer volume type is available that you can use to reduce the volume capacity and continue to meet your performance goals.
