PERF 6. How do you ensure that you continue to have the most appropriate storage solution as new storage solutions and features are launched?
AWS listens to customer feedback and continues to innovate with new storage solution and features, providing new combinations of capacity, throughput, and durability. This means that a new storage solution might be released that offers better performance efficiency that the one you originally selected.
Best practices:
 Review Cyclically reselect new instance type and size based on predicted resource need.
 Benchmarking After each new instance type is released, carry out a load test of a known workload on AWS, and use that to estimate the best selection.
 Load Test After each relevant new instance type is released deploy the latest version of the system on AWS, use monitoring to capture performance metrics, and then make a selection based on a calculation of performance/cost.
