Cloud file storage for your microservices
architectures
Modern application development is enabling organizations
to innovate faster, respond to customer needs, and
scale to millions of users. Modern applications are built
on containers and serverless architectures that are
complementary to one another. These modern architectures
free developers from configuration and compatibility
concerns and management overhead, so they can focus
on building applications.
It is now commonplace for new applications to be built
with these modern techniques, and even in-place
applications are being repackaged for deployment on
containers and serverless architectures. Yet, there is a
data problem to be addressed.
What is needed is a cloud file system that persists data,
even when containerized applications and serverless
functions are terminated. For these modern applications,
a cloud-native file system becomes a data foundation,
operating in concert with containers and serverless
technologies to reliably and consistently deploy to AWS,
allowing data to persist application state and share data
among applications when needed.
