 * **Balanced**: This mode serves as a pre-production environment where applications are tested in conditions that closely mimic production. It helps in identifying issues that might not be apparent in the development environment.
 * **High Availability**: This mode is used for live deployments. It involves optimized configurations for performance, security, and reliability. Resource allocations are typically higher, and debugging tools are minimized to ensure stability.
