Which Amazon EBS volume type offers cost-effective storage for a broad range of general-purpose workloads?
General Purpose SSD (gp3)
Magnetic (standard)
Cold HDD (sc1)
Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1)
Amazon EBS General Purpose SSD (gp3) volumes balance price and performance and are recommended for most general-purpose workloads, including virtual desktops, medium-sized single-instance databases, development/test environments, and boot volumes. gp3 volumes also let you provision IOPS and throughput independently from capacity at a lower price per GB than gp2.
Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1/io2) volumes deliver consistently high performance for mission-critical, I/O-intensive databases but cost more because you pay separately for each provisioned IOPS. Cold HDD (sc1) volumes are optimized for infrequently accessed, throughput-oriented data and currently offer the lowest price per GB of all EBS volume types. Magnetic (standard) volumes are previous-generation, low-performance options suited to small datasets that are rarely accessed and are not the cheapest choice today.
