Cloud object storage is a type of data storage service provided by cloud computing platforms. It stores data as objects within a flat hierarchy, typically accessed via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) or application programming interface (API) calls. Object storage offers scalability, durability, and flexibility for storing large volumes of unstructured data, such as images, videos, and backups.
