Removes outdated sections and improves others to be clearer.
Also updates other page links and moves other sections
to their own pages as appropriate.

## Eliminating NFS altogether
If you are planning to use Gitaly without NFS for your storage needs
and want to eliminate NFS from your environment altogether, there are
a few things that you need to do:
1. Make sure the [`git` user home directory](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/configuration.html#moving-the-home-directory-for-a-user) is on local disk.
1. Configure [database lookup of SSH keys](../operations/fast_ssh_key_lookup.md)
to eliminate the need for a shared `authorized_keys` file.
1. Configure [object storage for job artifacts](../job_artifacts.md#using-object-storage)
including [incremental logging](../job_logs.md#new-incremental-logging-architecture).
1. Configure [object storage for LFS objects](../lfs/lfs_administration.md#storing-lfs-objects-in-remote-object-storage).
1. Configure [object storage for uploads](../uploads.md#using-object-storage-core-only).
1. Configure [object storage for merge request diffs](../merge_request_diffs.md#using-object-storage).
1. Configure [object storage for packages](../packages/index.md#using-object-storage) (optional feature).
1. Configure [object storage for dependency proxy](../packages/dependency_proxy.md#using-object-storage) (optional feature).
NOTE: **Note:**
One current feature of GitLab that still requires a shared directory (NFS) is
[GitLab Pages](../../user/project/pages/index.md).
There is [work in progress](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/issues/196)
to eliminate the need for NFS to support GitLab Pages.

# S3 Object Storage
GitLab supports utilizing an S3 Object Storage service over [NFS](nfs.md) for holding
numerous types of data. This is recommended in larger setups as object storage is
typically much more performant and reliable.
For configuring GitLab to use Object Storage refer to the following guides:
1. Make sure the [`git` user home directory](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/configuration.html#moving-the-home-directory-for-a-user) is on local disk.
1. Configure [database lookup of SSH keys](../operations/fast_ssh_key_lookup.md)
to eliminate the need for a shared `authorized_keys` file.
1. Configure [object storage for job artifacts](../job_artifacts.md#using-object-storage)
including [incremental logging](../job_logs.md#new-incremental-logging-architecture).
1. Configure [object storage for LFS objects](../lfs/lfs_administration.md#storing-lfs-objects-in-remote-object-storage).
1. Configure [object storage for uploads](../uploads.md#using-object-storage-core-only).
1. Configure [object storage for merge request diffs](../merge_request_diffs.md#using-object-storage).
