A company is running a custom database in the AWS Cloud. The database uses Amazon EC2 for compute and uses Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for storage. The database runs on the latest generation of EC2 instances and uses a General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS volume for data. The current data volume has the following characteristics: ✑ The volume is 512 GB in size. ✑ The volume never goes above 256 GB utilization. ✑ The volume consistently uses around 1,500 IOPS. A solutions architect needs to conduct an analysis of the current database storage layer and make a recommendation about ways to reduce cost. Which solution will provide the MOST cost savings without impacting the performance of the database?
