Google Cloud Filestore<\/a> is a managed NFS implementation on google cloud. This is one of the awaited features for Google cloud users. Amazon AWS has released its Managed NFS service EFS<\/a> in June 2016 with 99.99% availability.<\/p>\n

Google Filestore Features<\/h4>\n

Key features of cloud filestore are shown in the table below. You can find the filestore pricing details here<\/a><\/p>\n

Google FileStore Setup<\/h2>\n

In this guide, I will walk you through the process of setting up a filestore using CLI and google cloud console.<\/p>\n

Following are the topics covered.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Creating filestore using CLI<\/li>\n
  2. Creating filestore using Console<\/li>\n
  3. Connecting to filestore from a Google Compute Instance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Create Filestore Using Gcloud CLI<\/h3>\n

    Note: Filestore is in beta stage now<\/em><\/p>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong> Use the following syntax to create a filestore. Make sure you have Gcloud CLI installed<\/a><\/p>\n

    gcloud beta filestore instances create <name-of-filestore-instance> \\\n    --location=us-central1-c \\\n    --tier=STANDARD \\\n    --file-share=name=\"<filestore-name>\",capacity=1TB \\\n    --network=name=\"default\",reserved-ip-range=\"<IP-range>\"<\/code><\/pre>\n
    For example,<\/p>\n
    gcloud beta filestore instances create devopscube-nfs-server \\\n    --location=us-central1-c \\\n    --tier=STANDARD \\\n    --file-share=name=\"devopscubefileserver\",capacity=1TB \\\n    --network=name=\"default\",reserved-ip-range=\"10.0.0.0\/29\"<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 2:<\/strong> You can list the available filestore instances using the following command.<\/p>\n
    gcloud beta filestore instances list<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 3: You can describe a filestore using the following command.<\/p>\n
    gcloud beta filestore instances describe <filestore-instance-name> --location <region><\/code><\/pre>\n
    For example,<\/p>\n
    gcloud beta filestore instances describe devopscube-demo-nfs --location us-central1-a<\/code><\/pre>\n
    You will get the following output.<\/p>\n
    createTime: '2018-08-16T18:26:46.864763Z'\nfileShares:\n- capacityGb: '1024'\n  name: devopscubenfs\nname: projects\/devopscube\/locations\/us-central1-a\/instances\/devopscube-demo-nfs\nnetworks:\n- ipAddresses:\n  - 10.179.213.42\n  network: default\n  reservedIpRange: 10.179.213.40\/29\nstate: READY\ntier: STANDARD<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Create Filestore NFS Server From Cloud Console<\/h3>\n
    Step1:<\/strong> Go to https:\/\/console.cloud.google.com\/filestore\/<\/a><\/p>\n
    Step 2:<\/strong> Click “Create Instance” option.<\/p>\n
    \"create<\/figure>\n
    Step 3:<\/strong> Fill out the basic details as shown below.<\/p>\n
    \"create<\/figure>\n
    Also, you can mention a custom network range in a selected network as shown below.<\/p>\n
    \"filestore<\/figure>\n
    Step 4:<\/strong> The minimum size of NFS that can be created in 1 TB. Enter filestore name, required storage and click create. It will take a few minutes for the NFS instance to be created.<\/p>\n
    \"google<\/figure>\n
    Step 5: <\/strong>Click on the created instance to get the NFS details.<\/p>\n
    \"filestore<\/figure>\n
    It will show all the details such as mount point and networking address range as shown below.<\/p>\n
    \"Google<\/figure>\n
    Connecting to filestore from a Google Compute Instance<\/h3>\n
    Note: <\/strong>The instance which needs access to filestore storage should have access to the filestore network.<\/em><\/p>\n
    Step 1:<\/strong> Update the package list and install the NFS client.<\/p>\n
    sudo yum install nfs-utils<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 2:<\/strong> Create a mount directory for mounting the filestore volume.<\/p>\n
    sudo mkdir \/mnt\/nfs-mount<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 3:<\/strong> Mount the filestore volume to the mount point. You can get the mount point from the filestore details page as shown in previous steps.<\/p>\n
    sudo mount <filestore-IP>:\/<filestore-name> \/mnt\/nfs-mount<\/code><\/pre>\n
    For example,<\/p>\n
    sudo mount 10.179.213.42:\/devopscubenfs \/mnt\/nfs-mount<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Step 4:<\/strong> Check the mount point using df command.<\/p>\n
    df -h<\/code><\/pre>\n
    You should see the mounted NFS as shown below.<\/p>\n
