Extended storage components

HCP supports several types of extended storage.To enable HCP to use a specific type of extended storage, you first create and configure one or more storage components of the applicable type.

You can configure HCP to access and store object data on the following types of extended storage:

NFS — Volumes that are accessed on physical storage devices using NFS mount points

Amazon S3 — Cloud storage that is accessed using an Amazon Web Services user account

Google Cloud — Cloud storage that is accessed using a Google Cloud Platform user account

Microsoft Azure — Cloud storage that is accessed using a Microsoft Azure user account

S3 compatible — Any physical storage device or cloud storage service that is accessed using a protocol that is compatible with the Amazon S3 access protocol

ThinkOn cloud — S3 compatible cloud storage that is accessed using a ThinkOn cloud user account

Important: Extended storage is intended to increase the amount of storage that’s available to HCP. Extended storage does not function as backup storage. You should secure, back up, and monitor the health and availability of each extended storage device and cloud storage service that you use to store data in an HCP repository.
