Cloud customers need a range of storage types to use as the durable layer of their systems. For example, some customers want a Blob interface, some want to use files, and others want disks. Cloud providers must offer all of these and more options, while continuing to innovate and reduce costs. Creating separate systems for each product offering is inefficient. Trying to build all product offerings on one system is ineffective.
