Amazon Web Services, an Amazon Company, announced general availability of io2, the next generation Provisioned IOPS SSD volumes for Amazon Elastic Block Store.

Io2 volumes are priced the same as io1 volumes, keeping the same predictable cost for EBS customers, but now support 10x higher IOPS-to-storage ratio and up to 500 IOPS for every provisioned GB, so that customers can get more performance without increasing their storage spend.

Customers can create new io2 volumes or easily upgrade their existing volumes to io2 volumes using Elastic Volumes, which customers use modify the volume type without any downtime for applications running on their Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud instances.

"Customers rely on highly durable AWS block storage to keep their business-critical applications running at any scale," said Mai-Lan Tomsen Bukovec, Vice President, Block and Object Storage, AWS. "Today, we are excited to announce new high durability io2 volumes, that provide existing customers 100x higher volume durability than io1 at no additional cost. For new customers where five nines of storage durability is critical to migrate on-premises business critical applications to AWS, io2 brings together performance, durability, and agility all in a single EBS volume."

Customers can create new io2 volumes with just a few clicks using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface, or AWS SDKs. io2 volumes are available today in US East, US East, US West, US West, Asia Pacific, Asia Pacific, Asia Pacific, Asia Pacific, Asia Pacific, Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, Europe, Europe, Europe, and Middle East, with more regions coming soon.
