Announcing Amazon EBS gp3 volumes for second-generation AWS Outposts racks

You can now use Amazon EBS General Purpose SSD volumes (gp3) volumes with the second-generation AWS Outposts racks for your workloads that require local data processing and data residency. The latest generation of gp3 enables you to provision performance independently of storage capacity, delivering a baseline performance of 3,000 IOPS and 125 MB/s at any volume size. With gp3 volumes, you can scale up to 16,000 IOPS and 1,000 MB/s, delivering 4x the maximum throughput of the previously supported gp2 volumes.

EBS gp3 volumes on second-generation AWS Outposts are ideal for a wide variety of performance-intensive applications, including MySQL, Cassandra, virtual desktops, and Hadoop analytics clusters. AWS Outposts racks offer the same AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any on-premises data center or colocation space for a truly consistent hybrid experience. Second-generation AWS Outposts racks support the latest generation of x86-powered Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, starting with C7i, M7i, and R7i instances. These instances deliver twice the vCPU, memory, and network bandwidth, as well as up to 40% better performance compared to C5, M5, and R5 instances on first-generation AWS Outposts racks.

You can manage gp3 volumes using the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or the AWS SDKs in all Regions and countries/territories where second-generation AWS Outposts racks are supported.
