          Findings for instances include:

          • Underprovisioned —An instance is considered under-provisioned when at least one specification of your instance, such as CPU, memory, or network, does not meet the performance requirements of your workload. Under-provisioned instances may lead to poor application performance.

          • Overprovisioned —An instance is considered over-provisioned when at least one specification of your instance, such as CPU, memory, or network, can be sized down while still meeting the performance requirements of your workload, and no specification is under-provisioned. Over-provisioned instances may lead to unnecessary infrastructure cost.

          • Optimized —An instance is considered optimized when all specifications of your instance, such as CPU, memory, and network, meet the performance requirements of your workload and is not over provisioned. An optimized instance runs your workloads with optimal performance and infrastructure cost. For optimized resources, AWS Compute Optimizer might recommend a new generation instance type.

UpdateEnrollmentStatus (new) Link ¶

Updates the enrollment (opt in) status of an account to the AWS Compute Optimizer service.

If the account is a master account of an organization, this operation can also enroll member accounts within the organization.

type status

string

param status

[REQUIRED]

The new enrollment status of the account.

Accepted options are Active or Inactive . You will get an error if Pending or Failed are specified.

Response Syntax

{
    'status': 'Active'|'Inactive'|'Pending'|'Failed',
    'statusReason': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • status (string) --

      The enrollment status of the account.

    • statusReason (string) --

      The reason for the enrollment status of the account. For example, an account might show a status of Pending because member accounts of an organization require more time to be enrolled in the service.
