Save 20% on EBS Costs by Migrating from GP2 to GP3

Migrating from Amazon Web Services' (AWS) GP2 to GP3 general-purpose Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes can lead to significant cost savings of around 20% while also enhancing performance. Despite these benefits, only 15% of users have transitioned to GP3 because AWS often defaults to GP2, and many customers are unaware of the potential savings. Switching to GP3 is straightforward, requiring a simple AWS CLI command without disrupting existing operations. For volumes smaller than 170GB, the savings are precisely 20%, while larger volumes see a minimum of 8% savings, even when maintaining performance levels. Tools like Vantage can help identify GP2 volumes eligible for conversion, and third-party solutions are available to automate this transition, further optimizing cloud infrastructure costs.
