For customers requiring NFS 3.0
protocol support or POSIX compliance, Azure Blob Storage natively supports
NFSv3 (aka BlobNFS). BlobNFS
is accessed via the Linux NFS client with our AZNFS mount
helper package, which streamlines mounting and reliably connecting to Blob
Storage’s NFS endpoints.
We’re announcing an
update to AZNFS (3.0) for BlobNFS, which now uses the same
libfuse3 library that powers BlobFuse bringing
significant improvements in performance and scale. The updated AZNFS for
BlobNFS delivers significantly higher throughput, larger file support, better
metadata performance, and removes user group limits, enhancing performance for
demanding workloads.
