Explanation
A is correct because ECS allows cross-namespace bucket sharing - a single bucket can be made accessible to multiple namespaces, enabling resource sharing across tenants without duplicating storage. B is correct because namespaces in ECS are a logical construct: they act as tenant boundaries that segregate data, users, and policies within the same physical storage pool.
C is wrong because namespaces do not physically separate data onto different hardware - all namespaces coexist on the same underlying storage nodes and drives. D is wrong because namespace-level isolation actually allows different namespaces to reuse the same bucket name; it's the namespace + bucket combination that forms a unique identifier, not the bucket name alone.
Memory tip: Think of namespaces like folders on a shared hard drive - the drive (physical hardware) is shared, the folders (logical isolation) keep things organized, and two folders can even have files with the same name inside them.
