| Fact | Google Cloud Managed Lustre | JuiceFS |
|---|---|---|
| POSIX compatibility | The service is POSIX compliant so existing applications, tools and workflows can use it. | The system presents object storage as a mountable file system with POSIX semantics. |
| Release news | Google documented general availability on July 8, 2025 with four performance tiers from 125 to 1,000 MB/s per TiB and capacity up to 8 PB at that time. | Cloud release notes list JuiceFS 5.4.3 on September 22, 2026 with directory healing, replication metrics and mount/cache improvements. |
| Security | Data stored in a Managed Lustre file system is encrypted at rest, and data in transit to and within Google Cloud is encrypted. | JuiceFS supports encryption in transit and at rest; at-rest encryption must be enabled when creating a file system and cannot be enabled later. |
