The API replies with “success” on uploads only when data is replicated to multiple datacenters. Plus top tier cloud players do offer redundancy of data. No need to plan storage, no need to plan hard disk, storage servers, or rack capacity but a simple pay-as-you-go opex cost. The idea was straightforward - pay-as-go storage with a few cents/GB/month charge to store data and a few cents/GB to egress data. It became popular when Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched S3. This gives the option of simple plug-and-play horizontal scalability. For those unaware, object storage is de-facto cloud storage which stores data as objects instead of file system architecture.
Last year had many interesting developments and one of that has been object storage.
