X'inhu S3
S3 stores OBJECTS (files + metadata) in BUCKETS (containers):
→ store ANY amount of data, files of any type (up to 5TB each)
→ highly DURABLE (99.999999999% — "11 nines") and available
→ accessed via APIs/URLs (not a filesystem — it's object storage, key→object)
→ virtually unlimited scale; pay for what you store and transfer
