Amazon ECS Managed Instances now supports EC2 instance store volumes as a data volume option for container workloads. This allows users to leverage local instance store volumes instead of provisioning EBS data volumes, reducing storage costs and improving I/O performance for latency-sensitive workloads. The feature is configured via a custom ECS Managed Instances capacity provider by selecting EC2 instance types that include instance store volumes. When instance store is unavailable or disabled, ECS automatically falls back to provisioning an EBS data volume. The feature is available in all commercial AWS Regions where ECS Managed Instances is supported.
