Google Cloud Filestore (Network File Storage)
A controlled network file storage service offered by Google Cloud Platform is Google Cloud File Store. It enables reliable performance and high availability for storing and sharing files.
- We can create files with the aid of file storage that can be mounted onto the necessary path and accessed from an instance operating on the GCP or on-premises.
- File storage is available in two types:
- Standard tier: It provides a throughput of 800 MB/s per share, which will result in minimal latency and good performance.
- Premium tier: The premium tier’s throughput is 1.2 GB/s per share, enables SSD storage and can be particularly beneficial for applications that require high IOPs and low latency.
- Automatic snapshots will be taken in the file storage, and since our storage is automatically backed up, we can prevent data loss.
