Question
Which cloud storage type uses an opaque value or descriptor to categorize and organize data?
Options
- AVolume
- BObject
- CStructured
- DUnstructured
Explanation
Object storage uses an opaque value, or key, to uniquely identify and retrieve data objects, which can also include metadata for categorization.
Common mistakes.
- A. Volume storage (block storage) presents storage as raw blocks that operating systems format into file systems, not using opaque values for individual data categorization.
- C. Structured data refers to data organized in a fixed schema (like a relational database), describing the data's format rather than a storage type characterized by opaque values for organization.
- D. Unstructured data describes the content's lack of predefined format; while object storage often holds unstructured data, it is not the storage type itself that uses opaque values for organization.
