Object Storage
Problem
You need to store billions of:
photos
videos
backups
documents
You don't need them to behave like files on a local disk.
You need enormous scalable durable storage.
Solution — Object Storage
Store data as objects identified by keys.

Services such as Azure Blob Storage or S3 provide scalable object access.
Core idea: object storage provides massively scalable storage for independently addressed blobs of data.
