00:00welcome back let's look at oci file storage service before we dive deeper into the service

00:10let us first look at what is file storage very simply file storage is hierarchical collection

00:17of documents organized into name directories all of us are familiar with it whether you are using

00:22linux machines or you are using windows machines you are familiar with how you organize your files

00:29into folders and directories and several of them now the difference is in the cloud we have

00:36distributed file systems these are not local to your machine and the two most common ones we use

00:41are nfs for linux network file system and server messaging block smb for windows both the protocols

00:50and the standards are supported by by unix and windows and there are lots of details around

00:56operating systems and hypervisors and which are which which support these so what are the use

01:02cases for file storage well the first use case are many of the enterprise applications oracle has

01:07applications like ebs ebusiness suite which really needs shared files storage so so that is provided

01:14by so by by the file storage service there are general purpose file systems all of us have used

01:21corporate directories where we have shared folders where we keep our content so that is an example

01:26of a general purpose file system microservices and containers actually are typically stateless and

01:32if you think about how we create these architectures there has to be a place where you maintain the state

01:38for these microservices and containers many times customers would use shared file system to manage

01:44that state and there are several other use cases like hpc scale out applications analytics and many more

01:52where you would use file storage service so in a nutshell how does file storage work as you can see in the

01:58picture here you have a single data center in in an oci region you have couple of compute instances

02:04they are all talking to the shared file system and that's your oci file storage service so it's shared

02:12storage for compute instances today currently we support an nfs v3 as a distributed file system

02:20standard we we you can take backup of the file system what we call as snapshots so that provides

02:28you protection if your folders or directories get deleted you can always take backups called snapshots

02:34and then we take security really seriously so you have data at rest encryption and you also have

02:40in transit encryption meaning when your compute instances are talking to the shared file system

02:47it's the the traffic is is encrypted since this is a foundational course we are not going deep into

02:54how you create a file system and the mount points and and all the details but the basic idea is you

03:01create a file system and then you mount it to the compute instances and then you start using them

03:06many instances can share the same file system and they can read and write from that file system so so

03:14that's it file system next time you are thinking about directories and folders and general purpose file

03:21system think about using oci file storage service thanks for watching
