Storage class reference
The available storage classes correspond to the predefined File Storage for VPC profiles. For storage classes with defined IOPs, make sure the IOPs are sufficient for the file share size you want to provision. For more information about the profiles
and IOPs tiers, see File Storage for VPC dp2 profiles.
- All file shares are provisioned with zonal availability.
- All classes are elastic network interface (ENI) enabled.
- All classes support cross-zone mounting.
The File Storage for VPC cluster add-on is available in Beta.
New storage classes were introduced with version 2.0. You can no longer provision new file shares that use the older storage classes. Also, volume expansion does not work for shares that use the older storage classes. However, existing volumes that use the older storage classes continue to function.
