Today we continue discussing the best practice from storage engineering:
46) Security – This is an integral part of every storage product. The artifacts from the user need to have proper access control list otherwise there may be undesirable access. The mechanism for access control has traditionally differed based on operating systems but most agree with role based access control mechanism.
47) Performance- Storage operations need to support a high degree of concurrent and super fast operations. These operations may even be benchmarked. Although local operations are definitely cheaper than remote operations, they are not necessarily a bottleneck in most modern cloud storage services.
48) Row level security although storage objects have granular access control lists, there is nothing preventing extension of security to individual key values with the help of tags and labels that can be universally designated.
49) Workload alignment: Public clouds pride themselves in the metrics they set and compete with each other, most also tune it to their advantage. It is important however to align the benchmarks with the workloads on the system.
50) Hardware arrangement: One of the most overlooked considerations has been the implications of the choice of hardware for storage servers. For example, a chassis with the expansion bays for solid state drive in the front is going to be more popular than the others and will set up the storage servers to take advantage of storage improvements.
