Episode 83 — Storage Tiers — Flash, Hybrid, Spinning Disk, and Archival
In this episode, we cover the different tiers of storage available in cloud environments and how they align with performance and cost objectives. Flash storage offers high-speed, low-latency access for mission-critical workloads. Hybrid storage combines flash and spinning disks for a balance of speed and capacity, while spinning disks deliver cost-effective storage for less demanding workloads. Archival storage provides long-term retention at the lowest cost, often with higher retrieval latency.
We also discuss how to select the appropriate tier based on workload patterns, compliance requirements, and budget constraints. For the Cloud+ exam, understanding the trade-offs between storage tiers is critical to designing efficient and cost-effective solutions.
