New AWS EBS Volumes

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-ebs-update-new-cold-storage-and-throughput-options/
  • Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) – Designed for high-throughput MapReduce, Kafka, ETL, log processing, and data warehouse workloads; $0.045 / gigabyte / month.
  • Cold HDD (sc1) – Designed for workloads similar to those for Throughput Optimized HDD that are accessed less frequently; $0.025 / gigabyte / month.
Like the existing General Purpose SSD (gp2) volume type, the new magnetic volumes give you baseline performance, burst performance, and a burst credit bucket. While the SSD volumes define performance in terms of IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), the new volumes define it in terms of throughput. The burst values are based on the amount of storage provisioned for the volume:
  • Throughput Optimized HDD (st1) – Starts at 250 MB/s for a 1 terabyte volume, and grows by 250 MB/s for every additional provisioned terabyte until reaching a maximum burst throughput of 500 MB/s.
  • Cold HDD (sc1) – Starts at 80 MB/s for a 1 terabyte volume, and grows by 80 MB/s for every additional provisioned terabyte until reaching a maximum burst throughput of 250 MB/s.
