Thanks Yves for the clarification!
It used to be very important to pre-warm EBS before running benchmarks
in order to get consistent results.
Then at re:Invent 2015, the AWS engineers said that it is not needed
anymore, which IMO is a lot less work for us to do benchmarking in
AWS, because pre-warming a multi-TB EBS vol is very time consuming,
and the I/Os were not free.
