Amazon EBS expands volume modification enhancement to AWS European Sovereign Cloud Region

Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) now supports up to four Elastic Volumes modifications per volume within a rolling 24-hour window in AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) Region. Elastic Volumes modifications allow you to increase the size, change the type, and adjust the performance of your EBS volumes. With this update, you can start a new modification immediately after the previous one completes, as long as you have initiated fewer than four modifications in the past 24 hours.

This enhancement improves your operational agility to immediately scale storage capacity or adjust performance in response to sudden data growth or unanticipated workload spikes. With Elastic Volumes modifications, you can modify your volumes without detaching them or restarting your instances, allowing your application to continue running with minimal performance impact.

The Elastic Volumes modifications enhancement is automatically available in the Region without requiring changes to your existing workflows. To learn more, see Modify an Amazon EBS volume using Elastic Volumes operations in the Amazon EBS User Guide.
