Answer

  • Performance mode
    • General purpose: used mainly for CMS, web serving, ... as it's optimal for latency sensitive applications
    • Max I/O: great for scaling to high levels of throughput and I/O operations per second
  • Throughput mode
    • Bursting: scale throughput based on FS size
    • Provisioned: fixed throughput
