After a public-works VM cleanup, the finance office still sees unexpected storage charges. Which approach best finds forgotten unattached Amazon EBS volumes?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
VMs gone, disks still charging—classic municipal ghost fleet. CUR plus Cost Explorer (and a quick volume inventory) lights up those unattached EBS leftovers so you can delete or reclaim them.
Full Explanation
Unattached EBS volumes continue to incur charges after instances are terminated. Cost Explorer and the Cost and Usage Report help isolate EBS spend; combining that with EC2 volume state (available/unattached) identifies orphaned storage. Shield Advanced is a DDoS service, and mass-deleting snapshots without review risks recovery and compliance failures.
