End of Life for Common I/O in RDS and welcome to Extreme SSD
This change will take effect by August 1st As database expectations have grown with high demand, and the number of applications has increased extremely fast, some bottlenecks, such as Common I/O, were identified last year. For this reason, we are now pleased to introduce you to the new era of performance, which is made possible by disabling Common I/O in Relational Database Service and enabling new capabilities, such as Extreme SSD. Extreme SSD offers high performance and low latency, making it more suitable for read/write-intensive applications.
