[Amazon ECS Managed Instances](https://aws.amazon.com/ecs/managed-instances/) now supports [Amazon EC2 instance store](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/InstanceStorage.html) volumes as a data volume option for container workloads. You can now leverage instance store volumes on your ECS container instances instead of provisioning an Amazon EBS data volume, reducing storage costs and accelerating I/O performance for latency-sensitive workloads.
Amazon ECS Managed Instances is a fully managed compute option designed to eliminate infrastructure management overhead, dynamically scale EC2 instances to match your workload requirements, and continuously optimize task placement to reduce infrastructure costs. With today’s launch, you can enable local storage by configuring a custom ECS Managed Instances capacity provider and selecting the desired Amazon EC2 instance types that include instance store volumes. When an instance lacks instance store volumes or when local storage is disabled, Amazon ECS automatically provisions an Amazon EBS data volume.
Support for instance store is available in all commercial [AWS Regions](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/) where Amazon ECS Managed Instances is available. To learn more about local storage support, visit the [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ManagedInstances.html#managed-instances-storage).
