General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS volumes should be used for Infoblox vNIOS for AWS instances. 

Volume size:

- NIOS X5 models: 250 GiB.
- NIOS X6 models: 500 GiB

For reporting appliances only (NIOS 8.6.2 and later), you must add an additional volume. This volume should have a minimum size of 250 GiB.
