INTRODUCTION
Cloud storage is a model of data storage where digital data is
stored on remote servers accessed via the internet, rather
than on local storage devices like hard drives or USB drives.
This system allows users to save, manage, and retrieve their
data from anywhere with an internet connection, making it
highly flexible and scalable >>>>>>>>>

OBJECT
STORAGE
⚬Overview: Stores data as discrete units
(objects) with metadata and a unique identifier.
⚬Use Cases: Ideal for unstructured data like
images, videos, backups, and big data
analytics.
⚬Examples: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage,
Azure Blob Storage.
BLOCK
STORAGE
⚬Overview: Divides data into blocks and stores
them separately, allowing for low-latency
access.
⚬Use Cases: Suitable for databases, enterprise
applications, and any application requiring high
performance.
⚬Examples: Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS),
Google Persistent Disk, Azure Disk Storage
FILE
STORAGE
⚬Overview: Organizes data in a hierarchical
structure with directories and files.
⚬Use Cases: Commonly used for shared storage
scenarios, such as content management and
collaboration.
⚬Examples: Amazon Elastic File System (EFS),
Google Filestore, Azure Files.
INTEGRATION AND
ECOSYSTEM
1 APIs: Most cloud storage services provide RESTful APIs for
seamless integration with applications and services.
Third-party Tools: Many tools and platforms offer
2 integration with cloud storage solutions for backup,
recovery, and management (e.g., cloud management
platforms, data analytics tools).
Hybrid Solutions: Some organizations use a combination
3
of on-premises and cloud storage, benefiting from the
strengths of both environments.
