AWS Kubernetes cluster creating extra ebs volumes in available state

1/27/2021

I have a kubertnetes cluster in aws eks.. and with it I have an autoscaling group policy attached to have 3 ec2 instances running. With each instance 1 ebs volume is created when it is launched every-time.

  • However recently with a change(that I dont know of) 1 of the 3 instances, started to create 4 ebs volumes with it when it launches... one ebs volume has the "deletion on termination" YES so it deletes.. but the other 3 ebs extra volumes not in-use dont have the "deletion on termination" YES - they have NO
  • because of this I have 3000+ extra ebs volumes created and just sitting in ebs volumes with 'available' state.. not being used and giving me cost $$

  • Now I do not know from where and how to fix this problem?
