Modern backend developers use cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, or GCP and often need to remember their roots. We lose focus on underlying platforms and, as a result, make many mistakes that can deliver terrible consequences in production.

This time, we will discuss connecting Samba shares as a persistent network drive for your future workloads. Before considering our cluster as “ready” we must do much more since we are building everything from scratch and bare-metal. As a next step, I propose to think about how we will persist data for our future workloads....
