File Storage

Managed File Storage

Definition

Cloud file storage provides fully managed network file system (NFS or SMB) shares that multiple compute instances can mount simultaneously. It is suitable for shared content repositories, home directories, and lift-and-shift workloads that require POSIX file semantics.

AWS EFS, Azure Files, and Google Filestore are the primary managed file storage services.
