Reference

A file system and the servers must belong to the same project so that they can mount the same file system for data sharing.

VPC provisions an isolated virtual network environment defined and managed by yourself, improving the security of cloud resources and simplifying network deployment.

A server cannot access file systems in a different VPC. Before using SFS, assign the file system and the servers to the same VPC.

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Creating a File System

VPCEP is a cloud service that provides secure and private channels to connect your VPCs to VPC endpoint services. It allows you to plan networks flexibly without having to use EIPs.

Communication between general purpose file systems and ECSs is established through VPC endpoints, so that ECSs can access file systems.

IAM is an enterprise-level self-help cloud resource management system. It provides user identity management and access control functions. When an enterprise needs to provide SFS for multiple users within the enterprise, the enterprise administrator can use IAM to create users and control these users' permissions on enterprise resources.

The encryption feature relies on KMS, which improves the data security of your file systems.

Once you have subscribed to SFS, you can monitor its performance, such as the read bandwidth, write bandwidth, and read and write bandwidth on Cloud Eye, which does not require any plug-ins.

Cloud Trace Service (CTS) allows you to collect, store, and query cloud resource operation records and use these records for security analysis, compliance auditing, resource tracking, and fault locating. With CTS, you can record operations associated with SFS for later query, audit, and backtrack operations.
