Es general purpose ssd remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

Using Python

To remediate the Elasticsearch should use General Purpose SSD misconfiguration in AWS using Python, you can follow the below steps:

Install the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) using pip install boto3 command.
Create an EC2 client using boto3.client(‘ec2’) method.
Use the describe_volumes() method of the EC2 client to get the list of all the volumes in your AWS account.
Loop through the list of volumes and check if the volume is attached to an Elasticsearch instance.
If the volume is attached to an Elasticsearch instance, check the volume type.
If the volume type is not “gp2” (General Purpose SSD), modify the volume type to “gp2” using the modify_volume() method of the EC2 client.
Repeat steps 4-6 for all the Elasticsearch instances in your AWS account.

Here’s the Python code to remediate the Elasticsearch should use General Purpose SSD misconfiguration in AWS:

import boto3

# Create an EC2 client
ec2 = boto3.client('ec2')

# Get the list of all the volumes in your AWS account
volumes = ec2.describe_volumes()

# Loop through the list of volumes
for volume in volumes['Volumes']:
    # Check if the volume is attached to an Elasticsearch instance
    if 'Tags' in volume:
        for tag in volume['Tags']:
            if tag['Key'] == 'Name' and tag['Value'].startswith('elasticsearch-'):
                # Check the volume type
                if volume['VolumeType'] != 'gp2':
                    # Modify the volume type to "gp2"
                    ec2.modify_volume(VolumeId=volume['VolumeId'], VolumeType='gp2')

Note: This code assumes that your Elasticsearch instances are named with a prefix “elasticsearch-”. You can modify the code based on your naming convention.
