Cloud Storage – Volume vs. Object: In cloud storage, “volume storage” refers to block storage that acts like a traditional disk drive and is suitable for scenarios where low-latency access is crucial, such as databases. “Object storage” treats data as individual objects accessed via a unique identifier and is ideal for storing large quantities of unstructured data, offering benefits like scalability and easy access through APIs.
