Securing file storage

File storage is a piece of storage such as the on-premises network-attached storage (NAS). In general, file storage:

  • offers support for common file sharing protocols (such as NFS and SMB/CIFS).

  • can mount a volume from a managed file service into an operating system to store and retrieve files, for multiple VMs, in parallel.

  • can control access permissions to the remote filesystem.

  • enables automatic filesystem growth.
