To see how flexible your storage space can be, consider Logical Volume Manager on Linux. Flexibility is critical on servers housing huge numbers of files or other resources.

I dalje mislim da je van većih serverskih okruženja (homelab ili obična desktop instalacija na jednom disku) LVM+EXT4 bolja solucija od korištenja ZFS-a. Fleksibilan, podrška za snapshotove za one koji su lijeni radit backupove i dosta brži. Jedini nedostatak je što u odnosu na ZFS otpada "selfcheck" ali po mom iskustvu ZFS je ionako nešto što bih implementirao kad bih imao NAS / Server sa bar 10 Storage HDD-ova i pod uvjetom da je na istom barem 32GB ECC RAM-a.

When moving to the cloud, companies with significant investments in Microsoft infrastructure wares simply can't afford to rewrite everything for Linux, so they end up migrating to Azure to dodge the markups Redmond charges for running its server software in competitors' clouds.
Or so say both Amazon and Google in their latest submissions to the Competition and Markets Authority’s investigation into the health of the UK cloud market. The upshot, they claim, is that customers face the devil's choice of migrating to Azure, or paying many times more to run their Windows and SQL Server-based apps on AWS or Google's cloud platform.
The issue stems from changes to Microsoft's cloud licensing practices some years back. Customers used to be able to use regular software licenses to host Microsoft server software on outsourced hardware. But in 2019, Microsoft began requiring new, separate licenses to host virtualized versions of these servers within Amazon, Google, and Alibaba's clouds – three businesses Microsoft classified as "listed providers."
As a result, customers must pay up to four times more to run Windows Server VMs on Google Cloud Platform or AWS, making GCP “less competitive than on Azure,” Google told the CMA.

Dakle nije teže nego skuplje zbog odluke MS-a. Vuk dlaku mijenja al ćud nikad pa ni onda.
