You have an application on a general-purpose Compute Engine instance that is experiencing excessive disk...

[Reference: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/performance, Local SSDs, Local SSDs are physically attached to the server that hosts your VM instance. Local SSDs have higher throughput and lower latency than standard persistent disks or SSD persistent disks. The data that you store on a local SSD persists only until the instance is stopped or deleted. Each local SSD is 375 GB in size, but you can attach a maximum of 24 local SSD partitions for a total of 9 TB per instance., , Performance, Local SSDs are designed to offer very high IOPS and low latency. Unlike persistent disks, you must manage the striping on local SSDs yourself. Combine multiple local SSD partitions into a single logical volume to achieve the best local SSD performance per instance, or format local SSD partitions individually., , Local SSD performance depends on which interface you select. Local SSDs are available through both SCSI and NVMe interfaces., , , ]
