What is vSAN file service? And how to configure step by step

vSAN native file services draw attention for many reasons.
Its flexibility, integration, and capabilities make it a good fit for a variety of use cases.
The initial version provided a key element to serving up cloud-native applications in vSAN:
Persistent, read-write many (RWM) volumes. vSAN 7 Update.
1 improved on the capabilities of file services even further with support for SMB v2.1 and v3,
Active Directory integration and Kerberos Support. vSAN 7 U2 extends the capabilities of vSAN file services
in new and interesting ways including support for stretched clusters, data-in-transit encryption,
snapshots and improved scale, performance and efficiency.
