Specifically, when it comes to the file system for the learning system, we encountered performance issues with both Azure and AWS. To address this, we experimented with external solutions like NetApp's file system on Amazon's marketplace. In some aspects, we found that on-premises solutions performed better. In terms of additional services, there is no need as Amazon has everything.

There are many customers using either Windows or Linux. Around 80 percent of the features of Amazon EFS (Elastic File System) are available on Linux and not in Windows, making it a major drawback of the product. I would like to see more features for Windows desktops since, if we look at our clients, most of them are using Windows and their desktops and not Linux. Even small customers or small companies are prepared to go with a Windows desktop or computer. On Windows, if there is a requirement for a file system, then Amazon NFS is the most preferable method in major cases. The solution needs to have more features to support Windows OS, along with the need to have more security-related features introduced in the solution while being an easily customizable solution for its customers. I would like the solution's stability to be improved.

The solution's deployment process could be faster while installing Python packages. If the Python environment is also maintained in the EFS, then installing modules takes forever to complete. Thus, we had to maintain the package environment outside of EFS, like within the EC2 instance it is mounted to.

The interface seems strange and complicated.

The user activity needs to be more connected and not required to connect to a PC or a device. It would be good to have remote access to a client, like OneDrive that we can share with other.

It could be better in connecting with Windows Server instances.

It should be simplified. There are people who don't have cloud experience. It should be storage that we are able to just connect to. We help create direct connectors to the cloud storage so we can just connect them like any regular databases. We just connect them then store it.

Public Cloud Storage Services
What is public cloud storage? Public cloud storage is a service that provides data storage on the public cloud. The servers and storage are owned and operated by a cloud service provider and are delivered over the internet to customers. In a public cloud, all hardware and software infrastructure is owned by the cloud provider. Cloud users or “tenants” purchase storage services from the cloud service provider. In this model, you share the infrastructure and network with other users and...
