Explanation
Object storage is the cloud storage type most commonly used to store virtual machine images (such as AMIs in AWS or VHDs in Azure). Object storage treats data as discrete objects with metadata and a unique identifier, making it well-suited for large, unstructured binary files like VM images that need to be retrieved, versioned, and distributed across an environment. Volume storage is block-level storage attached to running VMs (like a virtual hard drive). Structured storage refers to database-style tabular data. Unstructured storage is a broad category - but object storage is the specific type used for VM image repositories.
