Summary

We compared the performance of Amazon's PIOPS EBS with Standard EBS for Redis applications running on AWS. We tested three configurations: PIOPS EBS with Optimized-Instance, Standard EBS with non-Optimized Instance, and Standard EBS with non-Optimized Instance. Our results showed that neither configuration outperformed the other in terms of RPS (Requests Per Seconds) and Latency. However, we found that using a specific standard EBS configuration can provide equal or better performance than PIOPS EBS, especially when it comes to sequential writes. We also calculated the cost implications of each configuration and found that Standard EBS is generally cheaper. These findings are based on a specific storage usage pattern, so results may vary depending on different storage access patterns.
