 * Hello Sirs,
 * NOTE: I’m not an AWS professional so I might mention some terminologies here 
   that might sound incorrect. Please correct me if needed. Thanks!
 * I only have basic knowledge about Linux servers, but I have access to SSH.
 * Sorry for the lengthy topic. I badly need help. I appreciate your help here.
 * ———————————
 * I have developed a website which is hosted in AWS servers. I was not the one 
   who setup the architecture part in AWS. Here’s the diagram of the architecture:
   [https://prnt.sc/xwnaws](https://prnt.sc/xwnaws). I just installed the web servers(
   Apache, PHP etc) using an online guide and since then, the website was running
   smoothly.
 * Basically, the 2 servers’s public_html folders are mounted in EFS. I don’t have
   direct access to AWS console but as I remember the size of both servers are t2.
   large.
 * HERE’S MY PROBLEM:
    Recently, I keep getting a downtime report from Uptime Robot.
   The downtime lasts usually for about 5 mins and get up and running again. At 
   first, the downtime frequency was low but time came that it happened almost every
   30 minutes. When someone investigated the issue, they say that there’s an IOPS
   issue and they had to detach the other server from the target group. Now the 
   website is running and no downtime is being reported.
 * They asked me to give the IOPS needed for my WordPress application so they can
   adjust the server’s configuration accordingly.
 * MY QUESTIONS:
    How can I know the needed IOPS for my application? Is there any
   Linux command that I can run so I can know this information?
 * Here’s my WordPress Installation details:
    —– Wordpress version: WordPress 5.3.2
