Supercharging OCI Object Storage with Rclone Mount on a High-Performance Windows Shape

When you think about Object Storage, your first instinct is probably that it’s great for durability and cost, but not exactly known for blazing-fast file sharing over SMB. But what if you could expose an OCI Object Storage bucket as a Windows file share with 700–900 MB/s throughput on large video files?

This post covers two options to achieve the max I/O throughput with a Windows OS-based instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Windows OS currently has several limitations for the shapes available and eligible with the OCI Block Volume service. The final I/O performance of a server is a sum of several factors, not only the Compute shape. Choosing…
