Cloud storage
Cloud storage is remotely managed storage delivered as a network-accessible service for persistently storing and retrieving data.
Designing Deep Learning Systems: A guide for software engineers
Cloud object storage is a scalable storage service that persists data as objects addressed by keys rather than as rows in a conventional filesystem or database.
- How it is used
- Provides shared persistence and handoff storage for workflow orchestration and dataset-processing components.
- How deep it goes
- Explains storage responsibilities and integration boundaries, but stops short of object-store API, consistency, or lifecycle details.
- Examples
- Uses Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Pachyderm datasets, and image-processing outputs as concrete storage integrations.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure shared storage as the file layer for workflow tasks or versioned dataset pipelines.

Bootstrapping Microservices, Second Edition: With Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Terraform
Cloud storage is remotely managed storage accessed over a network and provided as an infrastructure service.
- How it is used
- Adds managed file storage to a microservices application while keeping provider details behind a dedicated service.
- How deep it goes
- Explains provider selection, service abstraction, stateless deployment, and replacement strategy, but defers customer video uploads.
- Examples
- Uses Azure Storage for application videos and compares it with AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Kubernetes volumes.
- What you can do after
- Build a file-storage microservice that can change providers with minimal disruption to the surrounding application.
