Episode 111 — Storage Migration in the Cloud — Block, File, and Object

In this episode, we cover the processes and considerations for migrating storage within cloud environments. Block storage migrations often involve moving high-performance workloads like databases, requiring minimal downtime and careful synchronization. File storage migrations focus on preserving permissions, directory structures, and compatibility with protocols like NFS or SMB. Object storage migrations include transferring unstructured data while maintaining metadata integrity, bucket configurations, and lifecycle policies.

We also discuss common challenges such as network bandwidth limitations, data consistency, and security during transfer. For the Cloud+ exam, you’ll need to know how to choose the right migration method for each storage type based on performance, availability, and operational requirements.
