Netflix Drive is a multi-interface, multi-OS cloud file system that intends to provide the look and feel of a typical POSIX file system on studio artists’ workstations.
It also behaves like a microservice in that it has REST endpoints. It has backend actions that many workflows use and automated use cases in which users and applications do not directly deal with files and folders. The REST endpoints and the POSIX interface can co-exist in any Netflix Drive instance. They are not mutually exclusive.
