Introduction to the Service¶
Object Storage is a data storage method where information is stored as objects in buckets, instead of in a traditional file system or block storage. It is a cloud technology for unstructured data storage, used for storing and fast delivery of large files and media.
Unlike traditional file systems and block storage, all data is organized into objects, grouped by buckets. Each object contains the file itself along with metadata that describes it and provides additional information about it. This structure simplifies management, makes it easier to add new data, and enables fast content discovery through standard interfaces and APIs.
Key Characteristics of Object Storage¶
- Unstructured data - suitable for archives, backups, media, documents, and other files
- Scalability - easily add storage space as needed, with no volume limitations
- RESTful API access - standard interfaces for programmatic data access
- Metadata - each object can have additional metadata for better organization
- Global access - access data from different locations and devices
