(gentle music) - Welcome back. In this lesson, we'll look at OCI storage services. And while there are a number of storage-related features in OCI, there are three main types of storage services: block volumes, file storage, and object storage. First, block volumes. Anytime you have a computer, you usually use a hard drive for storage because you need to store your operating system image and any other data that you need to persist. But for your provisioned OCI compute virtual machines, there is no hard drive. Instead, through the block volume service, you can create a virtual logical disc that you can attach to the VM. So, like a hard drive, it is only used by that compute instance. The second one is the file storage service. This is another type of virtual storage, but this can be accessed from one or more virtual machines or any other OCI compute instance type such as bare metal machines. Think about file storage like a network drive that you can map to your computer, but this same…
