GP3

Introducing GP3

Amazon EBS GP3 volumes are the latest generation of general-purpose SSD-based EBS volumes. They enable customers to provision performance independent of the storage capacity, while providing up to 20% lower price per GB than the existing GP2 volumes. With GP3 volumes, customers can scale the IOPS (input/output operations per second) and the throughput without needing to provide additional block storage capacity. This means customers only pay for the storage they need.

The addition of GP3 in Qubole increases the speed of clusters and query executions.
