Thanks David. PIOPS will make this solution extremely expensive (in the
thousands of $) so I'll have to skip it.
I'll try to test EBS SSD on my own. Wondered if someone has already done
that and can share insights from their experience.
Thanks.

Do you have a particular response time requirement for your ES cluster?
I'd suggest starting with the cheapest option available (magnetic EBS),
then moving up the ladder to the more expensive options until you're happy
with the speed/cost tradeoff. I've run ES clusters on magnetic EBS volumes
with no problem (e.g. for low-to-moderate volume logstash/kibana/marvel
clusters).
EBS is definitely slower than ephemeral (since it's just NAS), but I think
the webinar was maybe a bit quick to discount it. EBS didn't work for them
at their scale, but that doesn't mean it won't work for you!

You can try using [GitHub - stec-inc/EnhanceIO: EnhanceIO Open Source for Linux](https://github.com/stec-inc/EnhanceIO) which create block
device with magnetic disks and SSDs as cache.
