Storage

The storage container type is where files/objects live. In LEF environments, object storage is the default shape.

For the shared entry points (S3 and SFTP), see Storage endpoints.

Object storage (default)

Responsibilities

• Provide durable file/object storage for environments (artifacts, backups, documents, and integrations).
• Avoid coupling system behavior to local filesystem state on VMs/containers.

Not in scope (where facts & procedures live)

• Service facts and entry points: see S3 (object storage).
• Shared storage endpoint patterns (S3/SFTP): see Storage endpoints.
• Runbooks (buckets/access): see Storage operations.

Architectural intent

• Treat S3 as the default source of truth for files/objects.
• Prefer stateless containers and immutable artifacts where possible.
