Data Storage Container:
Overview:
- Data Storage Container is the commonly used solution for simple data storing and its remote control. It allows making multiple environments operating with data in a single storage.
- By using a data storage container, you can apply a smart organization to your projects’ topology and have many benefits like:
1. Data Persistence and Security
2. Simplified Management
Funds Saving
- Data storage container integration at Jelastic is based on an NFS protocol (network file system protocol), used for client-server communication.
- There are two types of the procedure followed :
1. The data is exported (shared) from the storage container to some other instance.
2. The appropriate directory is mounted at a client container.
- And in order to ensure the best experience while leveraging this feature, a dedicated Shared Storage Container stack is provided.
- In Apiqcloud any node can be treated as a data storage server including custom Docker containers, where such integration is implemented based on volumes functionality.
Types of Data Storage Containers:
1. Local filesystem
2. Master container
3. Compound container
4. Dedicated container
5. External server
