Brokered storage volumes upgraded to gp3

September 18, 2023

Storage volumes upgraded to gp3

Cloud.gov is happy to announce that we have upgraded all our brokered Elasticsearch/Opensearch plans from gp2  volumes to the high-performance gp3  volumes by default. We have also upgraded all of our brokered database plans to use gp3  as the storage volume type by default.

The gp3  type comes with an increased max throughput per volume/instance versus the previous gp2  type. A full breakdown comparison of gp3  vs gp2  can be found here.

How does this affect me?

These changes will only be applied to new services (database, Elasticsearch/Opensearch) that are created. Existing service instances will continue using gp2  volumes.
