Service levels determine how much throughput your volume can deliver to your applications. The CVS service type offers a single service level: Standard-SW. The CVS-Performance service type offers three service levels that you can change at any time: Standard, Premium, and Extreme. Cloud Volumes Service delivers the right performance fit for your workload that you can adjust as the nature of your app changes. The performance of the volume scales with the amount of allocated capacity, which means that your performance isn't limited when your dataset and throughput needs expand. You can also increase or decrease the allocated capacity as needed without having to worry about adding or deleting underlying nodes.
| Service type | Service level | Throughput per TiB |
Workload types |
|---|---|---|---|
| CVS | Standard-SW | 32 MiB/s | General purpose, file shares, email, web, databases, and applications |
| CVS-Performance | Standard | 16 MiB/s | General purpose, file shares, email, and web |
| CVS-Performance | Premium | 64 MiB/s | Databases and apps |
| CVS-Performance | Extreme | 128 MiB/s | High-performance apps |
