Accelerate the transfer of data from an Amazon EBS snapshot to a new EBS volume
- Amazon announces general availability of Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization, speeding up data transfer from EBS snapshots to new volumes.
- The feature allows creation of fully performant EBS volumes predictably and accelerates initialization of multiple volumes and instances.
- It expedites volume initialization by fetching data from EBS snapshots at a specified rate, ranging between 100 MiB/s and 300 MiB/s.
- Users can specify volume initialization rates to ensure operational efficiency and visibility on completion times.
- Volume initialization rate can be set when launching an EC2 instance or creating a volume from a snapshot in the AWS CLI or console.
- Once volumes are created, EBS tracks the hydration progress and notifies users upon completion.
- The new feature is supported for all EBS volume types and charges are based on snapshot size and specified initialization rate.
- Users are encouraged to try the feature in the Amazon EC2 console and provide feedback via AWS re:Post or AWS Support contacts.
- For more details, users can refer to the Amazon EBS User Guide and Pricing page.
- A digital course on AWS Skill Builder portal is available to learn more about Amazon EBS and its features.
