I know the answer to your last question which is that the SSD optimized code is all present as the serializing layer so running on SSDs will provide a significant performance boost. I'm not 100% sure what provisioned-IOPS EBS is but I'm guessing from context that it's solid state based?

No, it's just plain ol' EBS which delivers a minimum of X IOPS, where X is between 100 and 2000 (unless they have improved this since I last checked). AWS does have some SSD-based storage, but only for the larger instance types.

    Thanks Jeff. I've learned to always provide the caveat "unless AWS have upgraded this recently" due to the speed at which new features are added/improved. :)
