什么是NetAPP？ 如何使用它？ 为什么我应该使用 NetAPP？

Question

I am very new to NetAPP. As per my understanding, netapp is the storage provider company and ontap is the operating system supported for netapp hardwares.

Can i use NetAPP like a virtual instance in AWS or GCP? If yes how can i create netapp instace on different cloud platforms like GCP or AWS?

Or it is like a NFS drive that we can attach to our existing virtual instance? If yes, can i attach that as a disk or i'll need to use any SDK to call netapp?

Answer 1

Netapp volumes are NFS mounts. You can mount them like any other NFS export. No need for any Netapp specific SDK.

Netapp volumes can now be created natively inside AWS. Check out Amazon FSx for Netapp ONTAP. This workshop teaches you how to deploy one and much more
