AWS RDS Message For gp2

Question

Message : The gp2 burst balance credits for the RDS database instance are low. To resolve this issue, reduce IOPS usage or modify your storage settings to enable higher performance.

I am getting the following message from AWS via email, a bit new to new to RDS any help will be appreciated, as to how to fix this problem

Answer 1

You have two choices if you don't want to limit usage of your db:

1. Increase size of your storage, as for gp2, the bigger the size the more IOPS you get.
2. Change from gp2 to Provisioned IOPS SSD where you can specify fixed IOPS that you require. Provisioned IOPS SSD will be probably also more expensive.
