Explore file and HDFS storage

- [Instructor] So the first aspect of data that we're going to talk about is file storage. Now you might think, gosh this is simple and straight forward. But there's more and more complexity to understanding all the switches or parameters or options around file storage. The first consideration is, warm or cold. That means files that you access day and day out or files that are archived. Other considerations are should you replace your local area network file system or your LAN? Do you you have a need for Hadoop type of files or HDFS? Also, do you have a need for SSDs? So there's quite a lot around file storage, we'll have an entire section looking at the different offerings. Also you need to consider how are you going to transfer your files, either one time or on an ongoing basis from your network up into the AWS cloud. So quite a lot of things to look at here and again, in the real world I found lots of ways to optimize the process and save money and I'm going to share that with you when we look at these services from the AWS cloud.
