A customer is building a web cluster in which all nodes must access a shared pool of images. Which of the following storage types would be BEST for this workload?

Block storage provides raw block-level access typically used for operating systems or databases and is not ideal for direct, shared access of image files across multiple web nodes.

While file-level access storage (like NFS) provides shared access, object storage generally offers superior scalability, cost-efficiency, and simpler web-friendly access for a large pool of static images in a web cluster.

Direct attached storage is local to a single server and cannot be shared across multiple nodes in a distributed web cluster.

Object storage is highly scalable, durable, and cost-effective for storing large quantities of unstructured data like images. It natively supports easy HTTP/S access, making it perfectly suited for web clusters where multiple nodes efficiently retrieve static content without complex file sharing mechanisms.
