Amazon EBS launches gp3 and io1 volumes for AWS Dedicated Local Zones

You can now use Amazon EBS gp3 and io1 volumes in AWS Dedicated Local Zones. Dedicated Local Zones are a type of AWS infrastructure that are fully managed by AWS, built for exclusive use by you or your community, and placed in a location or data center specified by you to help you comply with regulatory requirements. In Dedicated Local Zones, these volumes are purpose-built to store data in a specific data perimeter, helping to support your data isolation and data residency use cases.

The latest generation of General Purpose SSD volumes (gp3) enable customers to provision performance independently of storage capacity, providing up to 20% lower price point per GB than existing gp2 volumes. Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) volumes are designed to meet the needs of I/O-intensive and latency-sensitive transactional workloads like databases.

You can manage gp3 and io1 volumes using the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or the AWS SDKs. For more information on gp3 and io1 volumes, see the product overview page.
