"Oracle Cloud Object Storage needs to have an additional bucket for security.""Sometimes, there are glitches with applying policies. Even when the policy is correct, it might not work consistently.

    Overview

    Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides simple, scalable file storage for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud. Amazon EFS is easy to use and offers a simple interface that allows you to create and configure file systems quickly and easily. With Amazon EFS, storage capacity is elastic, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files, so your applications have the storage they need, when they need it.

    When mounted to Amazon EC2 instances, an Amazon EFS file system provides a standard file system interface and file system access semantics, allowing you to seamlessly integrate Amazon EFS with your existing applications and tools. Multiple Amazon EC2 instances can access an Amazon EFS file system at the same time, allowing Amazon EFS to provide a common data source for workloads and applications running on more than one Amazon EC2 instance.

    It’s designed for high availability and durability, and provides performance for a broad spectrum of workloads and applications, including Big Data and analytics, media processing workflows, content management, web serving, and home directories.

    Scale with no new hardware - eliminates new capital expenditures, opens up data center space and reduces power and cooling requirements.

    Elastic storage - shared infrastructure allows for infinite scalability. Eliminates forecasting and long procurement cycles.

    Pay as you go and subscription models - purchase capacity with no commitment or reduce costs with longer-term agreements

    Simple to manage industry standard OpenStack and RESTful APIs streamline management integration, freeing resources to accelerate other cloud projects.
