Study Notes

Storage Cloud Services (EVS)

  • EVS offers scalable block storage for cloud servers, high reliability, and excellent performance.
  • Suitable for distributed file systems, development/testing, data warehouses, and HPC.
  • Distributed file system (DFS) is a hierarchical file system where physical storage may not be directly connected to local nodes, but connected through compute networks.
  • EVS disks support various types, including data disks and system disks, allowing selection based on budget and requirements.
  • Scalable capacity on-demand without service interruption.
  • Real-time monitoring of disk health with Cloud Eye.
  • High security and reliability assured by data encryption and backup/snapshot features.

EVS Architecture

  • EVS disks are analogous to local hard drives but in the cloud; they require attachment to cloud servers for use.
  • EVS disks can be initialized to create file systems for persistent data storage.
  • Backups and snapshots are available to enhance data reliability.

EVS Performance and Disk Types

  • IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second): Measures read/write operations per second on an EVS disk.
  • Performance classifications include Extreme SSD, Ultra-high I/O, General Purpose SSD, and High I/O based on I/O performance characteristics.
  • EVS supports Virtual Block Device (VBD) as the default type for basic read/write operations.
  • Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) support allows direct server OS access to underlying storage media, with additional advanced SCSI commands.
  • Shared EVS disks enable concurrent read/write operations, multiple attachments, high concurrency, high performance, and high reliability, ideal for HA deployments where multiple servers access the same disk.

EVS Encryption

  • Encryption functionality is available for EVS disks to secure stored data.
  • System disks are encrypted during server creation; data disks can be encrypted separately.

EVS Backup

  • Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) allows backups during server operation.
  • Provides data integrity and security through restoration from backups if accidents or errors occur.

EVS Snapshot

  • Enables rapid disk data saving at specified time points.
  • Snapshots create new disks populated with snapshot data at the beginning.
  • Snapshots differ from backups, as snapshots establish a relationship with the disk data, whereas backups are separate copies.

Differences Between EVS Backups and EVS Snapshots

  • Backups are stored in OBS and not on disks ensuring data recovery even with disk damage.
  • Snapshots create a copy on the same disk and are deleted if the disk is deleted.

EVS Three-Copy Redundancy

  • The backend storage system implements a three-copy redundancy mechanism for data reliability.
  • Data blocks are replicated and stored on different nodes preventing service disruptions due to physical device failures.
  • The method guarantees strong consistency between copies by spreading data copies across physical disks of several servers.

Data Rebuild

  • Data copies are scattered across the storage system.
  • If a physical device fails, the system automatically identifies and rebuilds necessary data concurrently on multiple nodes to minimize disruptions.
  • Rebuilding occurs on alternative physical disks to protect service continuity.

Object Storage Service (OBS)

  • OBS is a scalable, secure, reliable, and cost-effective cloud storage solution for massive amounts of data.
  • Offers unlimited storage, supporting various users, applications, and data formats.
  • Supports data analysis and query needs, e.g., historical data, analytics of user behavior logs, etc.

Static Website Hosting

  • Obs facilitates cost-effective, highly available, and scalable website hosting through combining OBS with CDN and ECS.
  • Static and dynamic content can be combined for optimal website performance.

Enterprise Cloud Boxes (Web Disks)

  • OBS integrates with cloud services (e.g., ECS, ELB, RDS, VBS) to provide reliable, high concurrency, and cost-effective enterprise web disks.
  • Storage capacity scales automatically as data grows.

Media Processing

  • Cloud-based media processing such as streaming media, Archiving, editing, and transcoding, can be facilitated with SFS.
  • Shared File Systems support file sharing and seamless integration with various operating systems and applications.
  • SFS provides scalable file storage, high-performance, and support for shared file access for different operating systems in the cloud.

File Sharing

  • SFS supports file sharing across multiple availability zones, enabling simultaneous shared access for various applications and systems like enterprise office documents or general file storage.
  • Shared file storage in the cloud is supported by SFS via protocols such as NFS and CIFS, allowing for seamless integration and compatibility.
