This document discusses optimizing performance for EC2 instances and EBS volumes. It provides guidance on provisioning IOPS for different types of storage workloads and database software. The key recommendations are to use EBS-optimized instances with Provisioned IOPS (PIOPS) volumes for random I/O workloads like databases, size volumes appropriately based on the needed IOPS and throughput, and ar
