Describe the feature
Change
Volume.volumeType
default to beEbsDeviceVolumeType.GENERAL_PURPOSE_SSD_GP3
, and renameEbsDeviceVolumeType.GENERAL_PURPOSE_SSD
toEbsDeviceVolumeType.GENERAL_PURPOSE_SSD_GP2
Use Case
People incur extra cost because they might not know that they should change the volume type from the default GP2 which is discouraged to use.
Proposed Solution
No response
Other Information
Currently
Volume.volumeType
defaults toEbsDeviceVolumeType.GENERAL_PURPOSE_SSD
which refers to GP2; I think it might be time to switch the default to GP3; The naming ofEbsDeviceVolumeType.GENERAL_PURPOSE_SSD
for GP2 is unfortunate and should probably be deprecated for aEbsDeviceVolumeType.GENERAL_PURPOSE_SSD_GP2
instead.Acknowledgements
