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.
