Relationships Between SFS and Other Services

**Table 1** SFS and other services
Function	Related Service	Reference
A general-purpose file system and the ECSs must belong to the same project. File systems are mounted on the ECS local paths for data sharing.	Elastic Cloud Server (ECS)	Mounting an NFS General-Purpose File System to ECSs (Linux)
VPC provisions an isolated virtual network environment defined and managed by yourself, improving the security of cloud resources and simplifying network deployment. An ECS cannot access general-purpose file systems in a different VPC. Before using SFS, ensure that the general-purpose file system and the ECSs are in the same VPC.	Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)	Creating a General-Purpose File System
VPC Endpoint is a cloud service that provides secure and private channels to connect your VPCs to VPC endpoint services. It allows you to plan networks flexibly without having to use EIPs. General-Purpose File System communicates with ECS through VPC endpoints, so that ECSs can access general-purpose file systems.	VPC Endpoint	Configuring a VPC Endpoint
IAM is an enterprise-level self-service cloud resource management system. It provides user identity management and access control functions. When employees in your enterprise need to use SFS, the enterprise administrator can use IAM to create users and control these users' permissions on enterprise resources.	Identity and Access Management (IAM)	Permissions
Once you have subscribed to SFS, you can monitor its performance without installing any plug-ins and view monitored metrics, such as the read bandwidth, write bandwidth, and read and write bandwidth on Cloud Eye.	Cloud Eye	Monitoring General-Purpose File System Using Cloud Eye
You can use tags to classify and identify file systems.	Tag Management Service (TMS)	Managing General-Purpose File System Tags
