Why AWS documentation mismatch?

0

EFS page states that EBS has throughput of "Single GB per second". Source: https://aws.amazon.com/efs/when-to-choose-efs/

While EBS docs states that io2 Block Express max throughput per volume is 4,000 MiB/s. Which is ~4 times higher than claimed in the EFS page. Source: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/ebs-volume-types.html

Hello,

The Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes were first introduced as a preview at AWS re 2020 and officially launched in 2021. Additionally, the maximum throughput of 4,000 MiB/s is only guaranteed on instances built on the Nitro System that are provisioned with 32,000 or more IOPS.

I think it might be because the EFS introduction page was created before the launch of the Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes. Nice catch :)
