Applies to

Answer
The value of volumeUtilization
shows how much the client is using IOPS for a single volume base on its maxIOPS
.
Example:
"volumeUtilization": 0.00185
Note:
- This means the IOPS utilization of this volume is 0.185%.
- Sometimes the value is
>1
because the client using their burst. It also happens despite themaxIOPS
is same withburstIOPS
since the actual IO is normalizing to 4k blocks that make thenormalizedIOPS
is larger thanmaxIOPS
.
