volumeInitializationRate

Specifies the Amazon EBS Provisioned Rate for Volume Initialization (volume initialization rate), in MiB/s, at which to download the snapshot blocks from Amazon S3 to the volume. This is also known as volume initialization. Specifying a volume initialization rate ensures that the volume is initialized at a predictable and consistent rate after creation.

This parameter is supported only for volumes created from snapshots. Omit this parameter if:

• You want to create the volume using fast snapshot restore. You must specify a snapshot that is enabled for fast snapshot restore. In this case, the volume is fully initialized at creation.If you specify a snapshot that is enabled for fast snapshot restore and a volume initialization rate, the volume will be initialized at the specified rate instead of fast snapshot restore.

• You want to create a volume that is initialized at the default rate.

For more information, see Initialize Amazon EBS volumes in the Amazon EC2 User Guide.

This parameter is not supported when using CreateImage.

Valid range: 100 - 300 MiB/s
