Erin has a picture which he wants to store in the cloud and would like to share its URL so that his friends can see the picture. What type of cloud storage would you recommend for him?
Correct Answer: C
Object storage(also referred to as object-based storage) is a general term that refers to the way in which we organize and work with units of storage, called objects.
Every object contains three things:
The data itself: The data can be anything you want to store, from a family photo to a400,000-page manual for assembling an aircraft.
An expandable amount of metadata: The metadata is defined by whoever creates the object storage; it contains contextual information about what the data is, what it should be used for, its confidentiality, or anything else that is relevant to the way in which the data is used.
A globally unique identifier: The identifier is an address given to the object in order for the object to be found over a distributed system. This way, it's possible to find the data without having to know the physical location of the data(which could exist within different parts of a data center or different parts of the world).
