Object storage provides relatively low performance storage at a relatively low cost that is designed to serve the needs of the Internet workload.
In this lightboard video, Bradley Knapp with IBM, explains the concepts behind object storage, what it's designed for and what it does best, along with use cases to illustrate these concepts.

These presentations from IBM have been very helpful. The lessons provided are greatly appreciate!
What a great, clear, and precise explanation. Congrats, you made me get tons of knowledge in just a few minutes.
You are very good with your explanations. You simply broke it inside out
You explain things so simply compared to anyone else!!!!
Nice presentation. It is very clearly summarized. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for the explanation, I am currently building a project, I have never heard of object storage until this video, I always thought its just cloud database + cloud storage, this is such a neat idea !
We're glad this was useful to you! 😀
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Great explaniation, so simple to understand.
Amazing presentation, well done. Learned a lot of things today!
Very grateful for this channel. Excellent explanations.
Thank you for the appreciation, Jourdan, glad you like it! 🙏
The moment I see you were writing on mirrored board, I figured it must be a good explanation, and it was
This was a terrific overview :)
Excellent explanation! Thank you
Fantastic explanation! Thank you so much!
You're welcome, Rosaline! Thanks for watching!
Amazing presentation! It'll help me a lot. Thanks!
very nice intro to Object Storage! thank you!
Thank you for clear explanation.
Great explanation !
Fantastic. Wonderful job
great explanation !
Thanks IBM!
thanX mate, this is a nice video.
Best high level description of object storage and its usage I have come across. The question is who and how do you create the objects and buckets?
Hi, thanks for the appreciation! 🙂
You can first check out the links to our IBM Cloud Object Storage, that we put in this video's description. ⤴️
Then, here's how to create a bucket with our service ➡️ ibm.co/3CCI2Kw
Hope this helps!
@@IBMTechnology great man, I will check it out. 😊
@@IBMTechnology I created a bucket with the IBM API.
Happy to hear this! What did you think about the tutorial and the instructions, were they easy to follow?
@@IBMTechnology yeah, very straight forward.
Thanks IBM,
what are other types of storage? It seems that object storage is good for non-performance driven storage, would be great to know how's that different from other types. Thank you!
Attributes - ua-cam.com/video/ZfTOQJlLsAs/v-deo.html. This sounded more like permissions.
Versions: ua-cam.com/video/ZfTOQJlLsAs/v-deo.html; "You can have different versions that overwrite the previous version as long as the object attributes allow for it." The higher (more recent) versions do NOT "overwrite" previous versions! They build on top of those. Sorry for nitpicking a bit but it is important to use the correct terminology.
Thanks for the video.
Can you help with, What are the types of storage objects? And security controls?
Hi Aakarsh, thank you for your questions. Object storage is a type of cloud storage in itself (together with File and Block), and doesn't necessarily have subtypes. You can read more about it if you access the links in the description of this video (right under the video name).
In the second link, you can also find a paper from IDC that talks about how IBM solves security matters for Cloud Object Storage. Hope this helps! 🙂
thanks
Who else has arrived here after looking over the EBS option from AWS?
Honestly, me too!
Hahaha! You got me!
hello, one question... I have a web system that uses a bucket to storage images captures in field and processed with Visual Inspection - Computer Vision. In this case, the storage of the images is very important to stay in folder, structured folder to separate the stage of the process, in this case, the file is proceed and move to another folder after it is processed.
I saw in COS - Cloud Object Storage that we can´t separate the objects in a File Structure. Is there some limitation for this? Is there other way to implement this necessity?
In this cenary, the lifecycle of the images is very important and why we choose Object Storage in Buckets for that.
Thanks so much.
Explain more about identifier
Great, can you do us a practical case of that ?.
Using your file-sharing example, how does version control work? Say if Sam downloads the file, makes changes, and screws up the file, how do you revert to the previous version?
This is very helpful. I have a query End users request apache HTTP server to fetch any content/file. How does integration between Apache server and object storage can be configured where apache server can fetch from object storage and deliver to end user.
the two DIAMOND knowledge sources that is got for computer science or computer related stuff are from harvards CS50 and IBM's youtube channel. and both of them are FREE
In general, are metadata and attributes pre-defined(similar to file properties) by the object store provider or users can define them?
Metadata is user defined. Attributes can be both user defined and provider defined, depending on the attribute in question.
Hi Thanks for the good explanation about Object Storage. My question is that Object storage as I understand does not store files like what we have in our hard disk under folder hierarchy. So in Object storage world if I have to store object in bucket which would behave like folder and files can interact like folder files, is it possible and how do we do it ? Thanks.
I think a developer would have to write an API for you to access the data in a logical manner. For example , youtube platform must be object storage and you access what you want through the youtube application. Again, developers must use tools to create objects and buckets.
Jeet, thanks for the question.
The idea of storing objects in the buckets is one of how the technology physically works - the concepts of a file/folder hierarchy isn't present in object storage.
If, however, you want to replicate that behavior, you would use a software solution that is backed by the object storage construct. That software will create and associate metadata for each object stored in the bucket, and that metadata will then allow the software to translate the hierarchy and relationship to folders when it's displayed to the user.
Solutions like Box or DropBox, this is how they work. They're backed by object storage, but the metadata associated with each object (file) allows for a simulation of the hierarchical folder experience that you're used to in a file tree.
@@bradleyknapp2909congratulations for IBM having you! Furthermore, your explanation is awesome and this video as well. By the way, the object storage data is underlying unstructured data and in this case to retrieve any reference from the object stored such as ID, Attribute and Metadata, and of course Data is 'only' through API calls, even using the CLI or GUI console and SDK? Thanks in advance.
I'd appreciate if object storage stays in storage systems, clouds, and _stays there_ without leaking into consumer space. There should be no object storage at all in smartphones, for example. The use of object storage in smartphones might not be as prominent or necessary as in large-scale cloud storage systems.
Smartphones typically deal with smaller-scale data and have limited resources compared to cloud providers. Storing data as objects in smartphones could introduce unnecessary overhead in terms of processing power and memory, as well as added complexity in managing the data.
Of course, smartphones _mostly_ tend to utilize traditional file storage systems to handle data storage locally. But transformation of user data, photos, videos and other files into objects right in the device without any possibility of recovering them without the necessary software in case of incidents, that's just bad and unacceptable.
I want to learn more about object storage
recommend some resources.
It seems like the object storage is used mainly for not-so-very-often used static unstructured data. Thus I'm a bit baffled by the recommendation to use it in a video-streaming service. Wouldn't SAN be a better solution if I wanted to design a UA-cam-like site?
And, can we use buckets for a CDN-like solution?
Thanks!
Hi @Guy Shenker, the object storage has this wrong old-fashion concept about infrequent data use though. The data storage architecture became a complex corporate solution, I won't to be bias but there are few companies in this segment that offer high-performance to achieve any kind of project running on-premise, hybrid or cloud environment. About your questions Yes, SAN (weather or not expensive your budget and needs will tell you). And Yes, the CDN can be deployed contemplating buckets as data storage. The great advantage of the cloud construction blocks is to build your solution as you want. Finally, the data storage is an important piece. Success!
How we can call object store bucket in ab initio etl?
how is object storage different than file storage? At the end ,everything is a file. Why can't we see every object as a file?
Hai ibm I want to create account and store my all music videos in your cloud how can I can you guide me please
I don't understand what you mean when you say the use case is cold :(
The term 'cold' in object storage concepts means data stored that has infrequent use. The excerpt above open discussion to an extensive constructive approach about object storage workloads use cases.
Does this related to minIO?
How is this object storage created from files?
what is a API ?
👍🏻
It will makw me a storage admin
wait how is he doing that. i think its very hard to draw everything mirrored while explaining.
ah yes i get it. the vid is mirrored.
How is he writing in reverse ?
how should i contact you i want to talk to you i have some questions
Hi there! You can ask your questions here. How can we help you?
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful.
