OCI File Storage Service
The OCI FSS is an enterprise-grade network filesystem, and at the same time, it is durable, scalable, and secure as well. As it's a network file storage service, it utilizes the same VCN backbone to serve, so you can use any instance type, be it bare-metal or VM, or even containers as well. If you implement VCN peering or a FastConnect or Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) VPN, then you can even access the filesystem from outside of the host VCN.
It's so massively scalable that you can even connect thousands of compute instances to the filesystem. It uses the Network File System version 3.0 (NFS v3.0) protocol, and for the locking mechanism, it uses Network Lock Manager (NLM). For the best reliability, OCI uses five-way replication of the filesystem and stores it in different fault domains. For data protection, it uses snapshots; you can have 10,000 snapshots per filesystem. For security, it employs 128-bit data-at-rest encryption for all filesystems...
