Q: 9
A company is migrating a legacy application that relies on the NFS protocol for
shared data access across multiple Linux servers. The data is accessed frequently
and is mission-critical. The best Google Cloud storage service that provides a fully
managed, scalable, and highly available equivalent to this on-premises file storage
is:
Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale)
Cloud Bigtable
Cloud Storage (Standard)
Compute Engine Persistent Disk (Multi-Attach)

Why does Google keep putting Cloud Storage as a distractor in these? Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale)
Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale)
Yeah Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale) is the right pick.
Had something like this in a mock, Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale) is it.
Makes sense with Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale) for NFS needs.
Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale) is the best fit. NFS requirement rules out the others, pretty sure this matches the scenario.
Yeah, Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale) is what you need for managed NFS in Google Cloud.
Which official guide covers NFS-based storage options in detail for Google Cloud migrations?
Nah, I don't think Cloud Storage (Standard) fits here. The key is NFS protocol support, which only Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale) actually provides as a managed service. Pretty sure that's what they'd expect.
Cloud Filestore (Enterprise or High Scale)
This is the only one that's fully managed and actually supports NFS directly, which is what legacy apps expect. Cloud Storage looks close but it's object storage, not NFS, so it won't work out of the box for this use case. Pretty sure that's the logic Google wants here but if anyone sees a catch let me know.
Be respectful. No spam.
