It also supports Ceph backed to enable on-prem. China Unicom has integrated their YIG project into SODA Multicloud, enabling Ceph to be used as a massively scalable backend object storage.
Basic file service support is added and block support is in pipeline.
The technical team is exploring to extend SODA Multicloud and other key layers of SODA into a distributed data store which can support block, file and object data management across the edge, on-premise, and cloud
