What is this?
File storage provides shared POSIX filesystems (NFS/SMB/EFS/Azure Files) for multiple clients.
Why should you care?
CloudVerse lift-and-shift apps that need shared uploads use file shares carefully.
See it live — copy this example
Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.
# mount idea
# mount -t nfs cloudverse-efs:/ /mnt/uploads
# multiple app VMs read/write same shareWhat happened?
- Shared file systems have consistency and performance limits — prefer object storage for new apps when possible.
- Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.
Practice next
- Create a file share.
- Mount from two clients.
- Write a file visible on both.
- Set throughput mode.
- Backup share.
Remember
Shared POSIX. Multi-client. Prefer object for greenfield.
CloudVerse shared uploads
Legacy app shares /uploads.
Outcome: Both nodes see the same files.
