What is AWS IOPS?

IOPS. IOPS are a unit of measure representing input/output operations per second. The operations are measured in KiB, and the underlying drive technology determines the maximum amount of data that a volume type counts as a single I/O. … Amazon EBS splits the 1,024 I/O operation into four smaller 256 KiB operations.

What is Max IOPS per volume?

The actual max IOPS for any specific volume is based on size, specifically 3 IOPS per GB up to the maximum. That means that only volumes of 5.3TB or larger can hit that max. While you might have the potential to hit 16,000 IOPS on a default GP2 instance, you also need to contend with the throughput limits.
