Episode 79 — Storage Types in the Cloud — Block, File, and Object
This episode breaks down the three main types of cloud storage. Block storage is discussed as a high-performance option for databases and transactional workloads. File storage offers shared access through protocols like NFS or SMB, ideal for collaborative work or legacy applications. Object storage is explained as a scalable, metadata-rich solution for unstructured data such as backups, archives, and media.
We also explore cost, performance, and durability differences, along with when to choose each type based on workload requirements. This topic is frequently tested in the Cloud+ exam, making a clear understanding of these storage types essential.
