It's an acceptable solution short term, but we're going to eventually hit scaling issues with it and will have to replace it in the future. There's a reason everyone in the world is looking at and working on scale out solutions right now. Having an NFS solution inside of a project is not a scalable solution for multi-tenancy, as it would require an instance for every project. It also adds ordering to how instances are started and stopped and adds a single point of failure to every project. Overall using an NFS server is not a great solution, but we don't really have an alternative right now. If we didn't care about ease of use, we'd do what most cloud providers do by just providing block storage and letting everyone handle things themselves, since that's "the cloud way". - Ryan
