IBM Cloud Object Storage
IBM Cloud Object Storage is a scalable, secure, and durable cloud storage service designed for storing unstructured data such as documents, images, videos, and backups. It uses a distributed architecture based on object storage technology, offering high availability and data resilience across multiple geographic regions. The service provides RESTful APIs, SDKs, and integration with IBM Cloud services for easy data management and access.
Developers should use IBM Cloud Object Storage when building applications that require scalable and cost-effective storage for large volumes of unstructured data, such as media files, logs, or archival backups. It is particularly useful in scenarios like content delivery, data lakes, and hybrid cloud deployments, where durability, security, and compliance features (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) are critical. Learning this skill is valuable for roles involving cloud infrastructure, data engineering, or IBM Cloud ecosystem development.
