Securing file storage

File storage is a piece of storage such as the on-premises network-attached storage (NAS).

Each cloud provider has its own implementation of file storage, but at the end of the day, the basic idea of file storage are described as follows:

  • They offer support for common file sharing protocols (such as NFS and SMB/CIFS).
  • They have the ability to mount a volume from a managed file service into an operating system to store and retrieve files, for multiple VMs, in parallel.
