Shared file system access across many VMs
Source: interviewintermediate
WHAT IT TESTS: managed file storage trade-offs. OUTLINE: use a managed NFS service like EFS or Filestore; watch per-operation latency, throughput modes, and metadata-heavy small-file workloads.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you know when a managed network file system fits and where it strains. ANSWER OUTLINE: choose a managed NFS service such as EFS, Filestore, or Azure Files for concurrent POSIX access from many instances. At scale, expect higher per-operation latency than local or block storage, throughput governed by the chosen mode or provisioned capacity, and pain on metadata-heavy small-file workloads.
