Object storage
A way of storing files or data items as separate objects, each with its own address
What's it for?
Provides a scalable place to keep large collections of files such as images, backups and documents.
For example…
Marketing stores large campaign videos separately and links to them when needed
A company stores millions of customer-uploaded images in object storage, retrieving each file by its unique key when needed
Think of it like…
Left-luggage locker: each bag has a ticket number; you do not care which shelf the attendant used
