    Provided features

    Parallel File Storage provides the following features.

    • Volume Name: Users can set a name for each volume.
    • Snapshot: Through the image snapshot feature, it is possible to recover data that has been modified or deleted.
    • Connection Resources: Can be connected to and used in a Multi-node GPU Cluster.
    • Terraform provision: Provides an IaC environment through Terraform.

    Component

    You can create a volume by selecting the disk type and protocol based on the user’s service environment and performance requirements. When using the snapshot feature, you can restore data to the desired point in time.

    Volume

    A volume (Volume) is the basic creation unit of the Parallel File Storage service and is used as data storage space. The user selects a name and size to create a volume, then connects to and uses it in a Multi-node GPU Cluster.
    The volume name creation rules are as follows.

    • It must start with a lowercase English letter and can be set to 3 to 21 characters using lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (_).

    Snapshot

    A snapshot (Snapshot) is an image backup taken at a specific point in time. You can recover changed and deleted data using the image snapshot feature. The user can restore to the most recent snapshot from the snapshot list.

    Reference
