When to use Filestores

  • Use filestores instead of databases for large files, such as videos and text documents.
  • Configuration files and sensitive encrypted data are best stored in specific filestores rather than inside the servers. Autoscaling groups may create or destroy servers, so keep data that you want to persist in separate resources such as a filestore.

Best practices

Knowing that the server can be discarded by the auto-scaling group, which of these files can I safely place in it anyway? (Pick three below.)
SOLUTION:
  • Intermediate steps generated by a build process
  • temporary calculations leading to a result
  • test files
