+### Storage volumes upgraded to gp3
+
+Cloud.gov is happy to announce that we have upgraded all our brokered Elasticsearch/Opensearch plans from `gp2` volumes to the high-performance `gp3` volumes by default. We have also upgraded all of our brokered database plans to use `gp3` as the storage volume type by default.
+
+The `gp3` type comes with an increased max throughput per volume/instance versus the previous `gp2` type. A full breakdown comparison of `gp3` vs `gp2` [can be found here](https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/general-purpose/).
+
+### How does this affect me?
+
+These changes will only be applied to **new services (database, Elasticsearch/Opensearch)** that are created. Existing service instances will continue using `gp2` volumes.
