What is Object Storage?

Object storage provides relatively low performance storage at a relatively low cost that is designed to serve the needs of the Internet workload.

In this lightboard video, Bradley Knapp with IBM, explains the concepts behind object storage, what it's designed for and what it does best, along with use cases to illustrate these concepts.

Thank you so much for the explanation, I am currently building a project, I have never heard of object storage until this video, I always thought its just cloud database + cloud storage, this is such a neat idea !

You are very good with your explanations. You simply broke it inside out

The moment I see you were writing on mirrored board, I figured it must be a good explanation, and it was

[sophieshen]

what are other types of storage? It seems that object storage is good for non-performance driven storage, would be great to know how's that different from other types. Thank you!

very nice intro to Object Storage! thank you!

Best high level description of object storage and its usage I have come across. The question is who and how do you create the objects and buckets?

[fzgarcia]

hello, one question... I have a web system that uses a bucket to storage images captures in field and processed with Visual Inspection - Computer Vision. In this case, the storage of the images is very important to stay in folder, structured folder to separate the stage of the process, in this case, the file is proceed and move to another folder after it is processed.
I saw in COS - Cloud Object Storage that we can´t separate the objects in a File Structure. Is there some limitation for this? Is there other way to implement this necessity?
In this cenary, the lifecycle of the images is very important and why we choose Object Storage in Buckets for that.
Thanks so much.

Thanks for the video.
Can you help with, What are the types of storage objects? And security controls?

[martinmcdonnell]

Using your file-sharing example, how does version control work? Say if Sam downloads the file, makes changes, and screws up the file, how do you revert to the previous version?

[rajasekharbonthala]

This is very helpful. I have a query End users request apache HTTP server to fetch any content/file. How does integration between Apache server and object storage can be configured where apache server can fetch from object storage and deliver to end user.
