Management Console
Eon Mode root volume encryption on AWS
On Eon Mode on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the root volume is encrypted by default when you perform any of the following operations with Management Console:
-
Provision a database
-
Revive a database
-
Scale up a database
-
Add a new subcluster
For details, see Amazon Web Services in MC and Subclusters in MC.
Support gp3 volume type on AWS
Vertica supports the gp3 volume type as the default volume type for root and EBS volumes on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The gp3 volume type is more cost-efficient and has better performance for input/output operations per second (IOPS) than the gp2 volume type. For details, see the Amazon gp3 product overview documentation.
Vertica uses gp3 volumes as the default volume type for the following operations in both Enterprise Mode and Eon Mode:
-
Create a database
-
Revive a database
-
Add a subcluster
-
Scale up a subcluster
Note
If the existing subcluster uses gp2 volumes, the scale-up operation adds gp2 volumes to the existing subcluster.
Additionally, the Vertica CloudFormation Template (CFT) uses the gp3 volume as the default volume type.
