Object Storage

Foundations ✓PlatformOpsProjects

Platform · 2 — Containers & data · ~6 min · Cloud — Storage & Databases

What is this?

Object storage (S3/Blob) holds unstructured objects addressed by key — durable and cheap at scale.

Why should you care?

CloudVerse images, backups, and logs land in buckets/containers — not block disks.

See it live — copy this example

Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.

# aws s3 cp report.csv s3://cloudverse-artifacts/reports/2026/07/report.csv
# Block public access ON; use IAM roles, not keys in apps when possible

What happened?

  • Versioning + lifecycle rules.
  • Encrypt.
  • Never public-read for private data.

Practice next

  1. Create bucket.
  2. Upload object.
  3. Enable block public access.
  4. Add lifecycle to Glacier/Cool.
  5. Enable versioning.

Remember

Keys + buckets. IAM access. Lifecycle + encrypt.

CloudVerse artifacts bucket

Reports in private object store.

Outcome: Cheap durable storage with IAM.
