Block Storage: block storage is configured to store the data. Add approximately 10% more than the current need, as the storage can be easily scaled up on demand.
Performance Units: With block storage, you can select performance units, which ensures faster data retrieval and improved performance
Archive storage: use the archive storage that will have Less IOPS compared to block storage, as the data that will not be retrieved more often should be stored on the archival storage
Boot volume: mainly when we configure the VM, boot values are used to store the Operating system and swap
Object storage: most of the cloud providers provide object storage to store any unstructured data, and few cloud providers offer mount target for file system

When upgrading cloud storage solutions, the key to balancing cost and performance lies in understanding your specific workload requirements. First, I evaluate the data—whether it's frequently accessed or archived—so I can allocate resources accordingly. Tiered storage models help ensure that mission-critical data is stored on high-performance tiers, while less critical information can be placed in cost-efficient, slower tiers. Additionally, leveraging tools for auto-scaling and monitoring helps optimize resource allocation in real-time, ensuring we don’t over-provision. By continuously assessing both usage patterns and storage needs, I can strike the right balance between cost efficiency and high performance.

To balance cost and performance in cloud storage upgrades:
Assess Needs: Match storage solutions to your performance and capacity requirements.
Tiered Storage: Use high-performance storage for frequent access and cost-effective options for infrequent access.
Evaluate Trade-Offs: Choose between different storage classes based on your budget and performance needs.
Data Lifecycle Management: Automate data movement to appropriate storage tiers.
Monitor and Adjust: Regularly review performance and costs to optimize storage settings.
