A company is running a custom database in the AWS Cloud. The database uses Amazon EC2 for compute and uses Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) for storage.

• The volume never goes above 256 GB utilization.
• The volume consistently uses around 1,500 IOPS. A solutions architect needs to conduct an analysis of the current database storage layer and make a recommendation about ways to reduce cost. Which solution will provide the MOST cost savings without impacting the performance of the database?
