    Feature

    Description

    Dataflow (public preview)

    The dataflow feature allows CPFS for Lingjun file system to exchange data with Object Storage Service (OSS) Bucket and supports data import and export between CPFS for Lingjun file system and OSS bucket one by one.

    Data monitoring

    CPFS is seamlessly integrated with Cloud Monitor. You can use Cloud Monitor to monitor capacity and performance metrics such as storage usage, read and write throughput, and IOPS. You can also configure alert rules for the metrics to obtain exception information at the earliest opportunity.

    Log management

    CPFS, in conjunction with Simple Log Service, offers a log analysis feature that provides one-stop services for real-time collection, query, analysis, processing, and consumption of CPFS access logs.

    Data Backup

    CPFS and Alibaba Cloud Cloud Backup jointly develop a backup feature for CPFS file systems to provide an efficient and cost-effective data protection solution. Cloud Backup provides advanced data protection capabilities such as concurrent scanning on multiple nodes, integration with storage APIs, and deduplication and compression. To back up data, you only need to perform a few operations in the Cloud Backup console. The backup solution offers high performance and low costs. If a file in your file system is accidentally deleted, you can restore data from a backup vault to ensure data security.
