Day 5.Create GP3 Volume

Source: Dev.to

Lab Information

The Nautilus DevOps team is strategizing the migration of a portion of their infrastructure to the AWS cloud. Recognizing the scale of this undertaking, they have opted to approach the migration in incremental steps rather than as a single massive transition. By segmenting large tasks into smaller, more manageable units, the team can execute the migration in gradual phases, ensuring smoother implementation and minimizing disruption to ongoing operations. This granular approach allows for better control, risk mitigation, and optimization of resources throughout the migration process.
