 This post will help you to  create new EBS volumes in AWS.

Practical steps:

From the EC2 launch page navigate to volumes.                                                                                                      

Click on create volumes

Provide details:

1.from the volume type dropdown, select the required volume type.

2.provide size of the volume in GB

 

    based on the size the volume, the iops value will changes.

    suppose for 2GB - min/max iops is 100/3000

    if size of volume is 200GB, then min/max value will be 600/45000
