> Spiking Demand – You are running a relational database on a Provisioned IOPS volume that is set to handle a moderate amount of traffic during the month, with a 10x spike in traffic during the final three days of each month due to month-end processing. You can use Elastic Volumes to dial up the provisioning in order to handle the spike, and then dial it down afterward.

At first I was a little dubious of the usefulness of this update, but that features is actually really useful. I'm not sure what the granularity is, but it would be nice to crank up he iops on a DB when doing some large batch operations.
