Summary

Adds support for setting an Amazon EBS volume initialization rate on DRS launch templates, enabling faster full‑performance recovery of volumes.
The rate is applied automatically during volume creation and preserved across rightsizing or disk changes; recoveries continue even if the rate cannot be applied.
Charges are based on the full snapshot size and the selected rate, with the feature available in all AWS regions.
