S3 Compatible Object Storage: Lenode offers S3 compatible object storage, making it affordable and easy to manage both complex and simple storage needs.
Object Storage Definition: A data storage method that departs from directory-based file systems on block storage. Stores files as objects in a flat structure known as buckets.
URL Access: Each object has its own URL which can be public or private.
When to Use Object Storage
Static Content: Ideal for static content or content that rarely changes.
Examples include static websites, content assets, backups, critical data, machine learning models, and programmatically managed content stores.
Static Websites and Assets: Provides simple HTTP endpoints for static content using frameworks like Hugo.
Use case: Store site content and other assets (e.g., photos, videos).
Critical Data Storage: Best for infrequently changing data.
Use case: Backup files, server logs, database dumps, massive data sets.
