Why not modify Zesty Disk parameters in the AWS Console?

After modifying volume parameters, there are wait times imposed before making further modifications,

When you modify with AWS, AWS limits further volume modifications - including extension - for at least 6 hours. This imposes a risk of running out of capacity if there is an activity burst during that time.

When you modify with the Zesty platform, the platform limits further parameter modifications for 24 hours.

If modifications using the Zesty platform require a 24-hour wait, and modifications with AWS only require a 6-hour wait, why use the Zesty platform to modify?

When you modify through the Zesty platform, Zesty Disk analyzes your historical usage to anticipate peak storage needs during AWS's 6-hour lockout period. It automatically adjusts your disk size to accommodate both your changes and predicted spikes, providing protection that AWS's direct modifications don't offer.

If the extended space isn’t needed, it will be automatically reduced during the next shrink operation.
