Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a host computing device comprising one or more processors and computer-readable memory, wherein the host computing device is configured to execute a compute instance and a namespace service client, and wherein the namespace service client receives file system commands generated by the compute instance using a file system application programming interface (API); and
a namespace service comprising one or more computing devices, wherein the namespace service is configured to:
receive, from the namespace service client, a namespace service request comprising data representing a file and directory in a namespace associated with the compute instance, wherein the namespace service request is based on a first file system command generated by the compute instance using the file system API;
determine, based at least partly on mapping data associated with the namespace, a network-based storage system mapped to the file, wherein the network-based storage system is to be accessed using a storage system API that is different from the file system API; and
send, to the namespace service client, a namespace service response comprising data representing the network-based storage system mapped to the file; and

wherein the host computing device is further configured to:
access data stored on the network-based storage system based at least partly on execution of a storage system operation on the network-based storage system mapped to the file, wherein the storage system operation is different from the first file system command; and
provide, to the compute instance, access to the data stored on the network-based storage system.
