Not a flame war.  I'm going to have a use case, where I spin up a lot of cloud VM. The worker VM does some work, and then returns the resulting work/files to a single VM.  I'm looking at doing a NFS/Samba server for the storage VM. Any thoughts one way or the other.

The storage VM will be accessible from the client VMs. I'm assuming the client VM would mount the storage VM, and do some sort of write to the device.

If the clients are all Linux, then you definitely want nfs. It's a native Unix filesystem which supports everything and is easy to setup. Samba is like a translation layer with potential mismatches on both side and will be a lot harder to get configured correctly.
