gp3

General Purpose SSD (gp3) volumes are an incremental improvement over gp2, offering cost-effective and suitable for a range of workloads.

Monitoring

Monitoring

The BurstBalance CloudWatch metric tracks the percentage (0-100) of burst credits available. If this drops to zero during an IO intensive operation the workload will be constrained to the baseline performance of the volume, likely severely impacting the performance of the operation.

Baseline

  • 3,000 IOPS
  • 125MiB/s throughput

Limits

  • 99.8-99.9% durability (0.1%-0.2% annual failure rate)
  • 1GiB-16TiB capacity per-volume
  • 16,000 IOPS per-volume
  • 1,000MiB/s throughput per-volume
