Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports higher volume-level limits for General Purpose (gp3) storage. With this update, each gp3 volume can scale up to 64 TiB in size (4X the previous 16 TiB limit), up to 80,000 IOPS (5X the previous 16,000 IOPS limit), and up to 2,000 MiB/s throughput (2X the previous 1,000 MiB/s limit).
With these improvements, customers can now run larger Microsoft SQL Server databases on Amazon RDS. Workloads with demanding I/O requirements such as high-throughput OLTP systems and large-scale analytical workloads can take advantage of higher IOPS and throughput on a single volume with simplified storage management, and get better performance for mission-critical SQL Server workloads. Additionally, you can configure additional storage volumes to add up to three gp3 or io2 volumes per DB instance, increasing total capacity up to 256 TiB per instance. There is no change to pricing – customers pay for storage and any additional IOPS and throughput they provision beyond the baseline default.
For more information, refer to the Amazon RDS for SQL Server User Guide. See Amazon RDS for SQL Server Pricing for pricing details and regional availability.
