Both the documentation and Amazon employees are in here telling you that you're wrong. Can you resolve that contradiction or do you just want to act coy like you know some secret? The latter behavior is not productive.

The parent thinks that AWS' i3 NVMe local instance storage is using a PCIe switch, which is not the case. EBS (and the AWS Nitro card) use a PCIe switch, and as such all EBS storage is exposed as e.g. /dev/nvmeXnY . But that's not the same as the i3 instances are offering, so the parent is confused.
