Amazon RDS for SQL Server increases the maximum size and provisioned performance of General Purpose (gp3) volumes
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for SQL Server now supports higher volume-level limits for General Purpose (gp3) storage. With this update, each gp3 volume can scale up to 64 TiB in size (4X the previous 16 TiB limit), up to 80,000 IOPS (5X the previous 16,000 IOPS limit), and up to 2,000 MiB/s throughput (2X the previous 1,000 MiB/s limit). With these improvements, customers can now run larger Microsoft SQL Server databases on Amazon RDS. Workloads with demanding I/O requirements such as high-throughput OLTP systems and large-scale analytical workloads can take advantage of hi
Cloud providers continuously enhance existing services to meet evolving customer demands for scalability and performance, and this update reflects AWS's response to growing data requirements.
This update allows enterprises to migrate larger and more I/O-intensive Microsoft SQL Server workloads to AWS RDS, increasing the viability of the cloud for critical database infrastructure.
Customers can now run significantly larger and more performant SQL Server databases on AWS RDS General Purpose (gp3) volumes, reducing the need for specialized or on-premises solutions for certain workloads.
