I'm using an AWS i3.2xlarge
EC2 instance and facing a limit of 10K IOPS. I wonder why that is?
I only write on the NVMe instance storage. No matter what I do I can't pass that limit. I thought that I3 class instance could go way above that?
Is there something that I am missing? Do I need a larger instance to reach higher IOPS? Before I try going higher i would like to understand if it is the typical limit for those instance or it is something in my set up?
Was anyone able to achieve higher throughput with that type of instance? Why is the limit 10K IOPS? What's the reason for it? And how to go above it?
Note: I'm running a database application, and making many update request on it.
