What AWS disk type would you recommend for a NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance that requires high performance?

The recommendation of using Provisioned IOPS SSD for a NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance requiring high performance is rooted in the characteristics of the workload and the capabilities of this disk type. Provisioned IOPS SSDs are designed specifically to deliver consistent and predictable performance for workloads that demand high IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second), such as database applications and high-performance computing.

By utilizing Provisioned IOPS SSDs, you can configure the number of IOPS separately from the size of the storage, which allows you to tailor the performance to meet the specific needs of your application. This flexibility is crucial for applications that require low latency and high throughput, which is often the case for services offered by NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, as they are typically used for enterprise-grade applications.

The other disk types mentioned, while capable in their own right, may not offer the same level of performance tuning and guarantees as Provisioned IOPS SSDs. For example, premium SSD managed disks and zonal SSD persistent disks provide good performance, but they do not allow for the same level of IOPS provisioning and customization as Provisioned IOPS SSDs. Meanwhile, Premium Page Blobs can be suitable for certain scenarios but may not match the
