You are processing huge amounts of logs continuously. You care more about throughput than random IOPS. Which volume?

Question

Xavier Antony Prabhaker Victor · Accepted Answer

For processing huge amounts of logs continuously where throughputs is valued over random iops, the best volume type is Throughput Optimized HDD (st1).Log processing is a classic sequential write and read workload. Because logs are appended line-by-line in a continuous stream, they rely heavily on high throughput (large data blocks moved per second) rather than fast random seek times (iops).
