Free AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate SAA-C03 Practice Question
Increasing the size of an Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume is an effective method to improve the baseline IOPS performance for General Purpose SSD (gp2) volumes.
The statement is true. With General Purpose SSD (gp2) volumes, the baseline IOPS performance scales with the size of the volume. For every additional GB, you get 3 more IOPS until you reach the maximum baseline performance of 16,000 IOPS. This is essential information for a Solutions Architect as it allows them to improve performance by resizing volumes without having to migrate data to a different volume type.
