Description Ben Cotton 2023-04-07 15:00:50 UTC

This is a tracking bug for Change: EC2 AMIs default to the gp3 EBS volume type
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CloudEC2gp3

In Amazon EC2, Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes can be one of several types. These can be specified at volume creation time, including for the default volumes that are created on instance launch. An AMI will have default volumes and volume types configured. Fedora currently defaults to the gp2 volume type. This proposal is to switch to gp3 as the default volume type for Fedora. The gp3 volume type is both more flexible than gp2, and can be up to 20% cheaper per GB.

If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
