Enterprise Mode Volume Configuration Defaults for AWS
When you provision an Enterprise Mode database cluster, Management Console configures separate volumes for the data, catalog, and temp directories.
The specific volumes and sizes that MC uses vary depending on the AWS instance type you select when provisioning the cluster.
MC follows these rules when selecting resources for these directories for an Enterprise Mode database cluster:
- Data: Always use EBS volumes, to ensure the data is durable.
- Catalog: Always use an EBS volume, to ensure the catalog is durable.
- Temp: If the chosen instance type offers instance store, then use volumes from instance store.
Table below includes all instance types that include instance store.
