Two different instance types of APEX Block Storage for AWS and one instance type for the application instance were configured for this test. The test suite consisted of five workloads run from the application instance with mapped volumes provisioned from the APEX Block Storage instances in a single-AZ. The tests were then repeated using APEX Block Storage in a multi-AZ configuration.
