Spectrum Virtualize for Public Cloud (SV4PC) - AWS GP3 support

client (BP) have moved AWS GP2 to GP3 since GP3 was introduced DEC 2020. GP3 are 20% lower costs per GB month than GP2 and provide 3000 IOPS v's 100 at GP2. This makes GP3 now the default choice for our AWS client. Even with SV4PC data reduction on GP2, the cost savings and performance are not compelling enough for cllients to remain at GP2 with SV4PC. This request is for GP3 support on SV4PC on AWS. SV4PC support of GP3 is a key gate for a current opportunity with BP PLC - who would be a new SV / new IBM Storage client.
