What storage options does E2E Networks offer?


A: E2E Networks provides block storage (Volumes), Scalable File System (SFS), E2E Parallel File System (EPFS), Object Storage (EOS), and Container Registry. Volumes offer high IOPS for performance, SFS supports shared access, EPFS is for HPC, EOS is S3-compatible for large-scale data, and Container Registry stores private container images.

How do I enable encryption for block storage volumes?


A: During volume creation or attachment in MyAccount, check "Enable Encryption" and optionally set a passphrase. Encryption uses LUKS for transparent, block-level protection. Snapshots of encrypted volumes remain encrypted, ensuring data security throughout the storage lifecycle.

How do I mount a Scalable File System (SFS)?


A: Create an SFS in MyAccount under Storage > Scalable File System. For Linux, install YUM/APT packages, then mount using provided commands with options like soft, timeo, retrans, and retry. For Windows, follow specific mounting instructions. Manage backups, ACLs, and snapshots via the SFS interface.

What is EPFS, and how is it used for HPC?


A: EPFS (E2E Parallel File System) is designed for high-performance computing, offering parallel data access, high throughput, and scalability for petabytes of data. Create it under Storage > EPFS, select a plan and VPC, and mount it on AlmaLinux using the mount -t lustre command after running client setup scripts.

How do I set up Object Storage (EOS)?


A: Create a bucket in MyAccount under Storage > Object Storage, ensuring a unique name (3-63 characters, lowercase). Use S3-compatible APIs or tools like S3cmd, S3FS-Fuse, or S3 Browser for access. Enable Object Lock for immutability. EOS supports static website hosting, backups, and Docker Registries.

How does the Container Registry ensure image security?


A: The Container Registry includes vulnerability scanning, with results indicated by color-coded levels (Red: critical, Green: no vulnerabilities). Create a registry in MyAccount, manage images via HTTPS endpoints, and integrate with Kubernetes using secrets (kubectl create secret docker-registry).
