Feature gp2 gp3 Performance Model Performance scales with volume size (larger volume = higher IOPS) Performance is independent of volume size — you can set IOPS and throughput separately Baseline Performance 3 IOPS per GB (up to 16,000 IOPS) 3,000 IOPS baseline by default Max IOPS Up to 16,000 IOPS Up to 16,000 IOPS (configurable) Max Throughput Up to 250 MB/s Up to 1,000 MB/s Cost Efficiency You pay for storage size; performance tied to size Up to 20% cheaper and more flexible (you pay separately for size, IOPS, and throughput) Use Case General workloads where performance needs grow with size Broad workloads needing consistent, tunable performance regardless of volume size
