GFS/Colossues are distributed file systems, which GCS doesn't really address (I think GCS is akin to AWS' S3?)


Yep, but GCS is probably powered by GFS


GFS is so dead few people even remember using it. But to say that something is "based on GFS" or "based on Colossus" is to say very little. If it stores data it is eventually "based on Colossus". You could say just as much if you said it was "based on ext4".


GFS was phased out many years ago - it has been replaced by Colossus.


In what fashion is GCS not a distributed file system?
