Study Notes

Storage Cloud Services

  • Elastic Volume Service (EVS) provides scalable block storage for cloud servers
  • EVS disks are reliable and offer excellent performance
  • EVS disks are used in distributed file systems, development/testing, data warehousing, and HPC environments
  • EVS supports various disk types for different needs and budgets
  • EVS offers elastic scalability, expanding capacity on-demand without interruptions
  • Real-time monitoring is available using Cloud Eye
  • EVS has high security and reliability with data encryption and backups/snapshots to safeguard data

EVS Architecture

  • EVS disks are like local hard drives in the cloud
  • Disks need to be attached to cloud servers before use
  • EVS disks can be initialized, file systems created, and used for persistent storage
  • Backups and snapshots improve data reliability

EVS Performance and Disk Types

  • IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second): Number of read/write operations per second by an EVS disk
  • EVS disk types are classified by I/O performance: Extreme SSD, Ultra-high I/O, General Purpose SSD, High I/O
  • EVS devices are Virtual Block Devices (VBD)
  • VBD support basic read/write SCSI commands
  • Shared EVS disks support concurrent read/write operations and high concurrency, high performance, and high reliability
  • Multiple servers can access the same shared disk simultaneously for high availability (HA)

EVS Encryption

  • System disks are encrypted during server creation; data disks can be encrypted separately
  • EVS encrypts stored data on disks when required

EVS Backup

  • Cloud Disk Backup is provided by Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) to back up EVS disks while servers are running
  • Backups safeguard data integrity and security from various data loss issues or damage

EVS Snapshot

  • Snapshots rapidly save disk data at specified times
  • Snapshots can be used to create new disks containing snapshot data
  • Snapshots establish a relationship between snapshot and disk data, unlike backups which create separate copies
  • Snapshots of data disks can be used as usual

Differences Between EVS Backups and EVS Snapshots

  • Backups store data in OBS (Object Storage Bucket) instead of disks, ensuring data restoration on disk issues
  • Snapshots reflect the disk state at any given point in time, stored on the same disk as the original data
  • Snapshots are deleted when the disk is deleted; Backups remain unaffected by disk deletion

EVS Three-Copy Redundancy

  • The storage system protects data by storing copies on different disks of different servers
  • Data copies are distributed to prevent single point of failure
  • The system ensures strong consistency between the data copies

Data Rebuild

  • Data copies are scattered across nodes in the system
  • If a physical server or disk fails, the storage system automatically rebuilds data concurrently on different nodes
  • This avoids large amounts of data being rebuilt on a single node, maximizing performance during data restore

Object Storage Service (OBS)

  • OBS is a scalable service for massive amounts of data storage
  • Provides secure, reliable, and cost-effective storage for variety of users
  • OBS supports various storage classes

Application Scenarios

  • OBS is suitable for Big Data Analytics (mass data storage and analysis, querying historical data, analyzing behavior logs, and statistical analysis of public transactions)
  • OBS is suitable for Static Website Hosting (cost-effective, highly available hosting of websites and applications )
  • OBS is suitable for Enterprise Cloud Boxes (web disks for enterprises for reliability, low latency, and high concurrency)

Scalable File Service

  • SFS is a high-performance shared file storage service, supporting file sharing across multiple servers
  • Enables elastic scaling, high performance and high reliability
  • SFS supports standard protocols like NFS for integrations with various applications

Media Processing

  • SFS is tailored for services like TV stations and new media for use in content production, broadcasting, and distribution
  • Used for content sharing and related file management requirements
