To use gp2, you can create an EBS volume through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or SDKs, specifying the volume type as gp2. Once created, you can attach the volume to an EC2 instance and format it as needed. GP2 volumes offer a baseline performance of 3 IOPS per GB, with the ability to burst up to 3,000 IOPS, making them suitable for diverse applications.
