Storage Architecture Template
Documenting the storage infrastructure including object, block, and file storage, encryption, replication, and lifecycle policies
The Storage Architecture template provides a structured approach to documenting the storage infrastructure including object, block, and file storage, encryption, replication, and lifecycle policies.
