Function Overview

Scalable File Service (SFS) provides scalable, high-performance file storage. With SFS, you can enjoy shared file access spanning multiple Elastic Cloud Servers (ECSs), Bare Metal Servers (BMSs), and containers created on Cloud Container Engine (CCE).

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows different computers and operating systems to share data over a network. After the NFS client is installed on multiple ECSs, mount the file system to implement file sharing between ECSs. The NFS protocol is recommended for Linux clients.

Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a protocol used for network file access. Using the CIFS protocol, network files can be shared between hosts running Windows. The CIFS protocol is recommended for Windows clients.

Multi-VPC access can be configured for an SFS Capacity-Oriented file system so that ECSs in different VPCs can share the same file system, as long as the VPCs that the ECSs belong to are added to the VPC list of the file system or the ECS IP addresses are added as authorized IP addresses of the VPCs.

An SFS Turbo file system allows two or more VPCs in the same region to interconnect with each other through VPC peering connection. In this case, different VPCs are in the same network, and ECSs in these VPCs can share the same file system.

A backup is a complete copy of a file system at a specific time and it records all configuration data and service data at that time. If your file system is faulty or a logical error occurs in the data in the file system, you can use the backup data to restore the data quickly.

SFS provides you with the encryption function. You can encrypt your data on the newly created file systems if needed.

Cloud Eye is a multi-dimensional resource monitoring service. With Cloud Eye, you can view the file system usage and service running status, and respond to exceptions in a timely manner to ensure smooth running of services.
