Which of the following cloud storage options provides users with endpoints to retrieve data via REST API?

The correct answer is B. Object. Object storage (B) exposes data through REST API endpoints (typically HTTP GET/PUT/DELETE), making it ideal for web-accessible content like images, videos, and backups. AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage are canonical examples - you retrieve objects via URLs wit

Explanation

Object storage (B) exposes data through REST API endpoints (typically HTTP GET/PUT/DELETE), making it ideal for web-accessible content like images, videos, and backups. AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage are canonical examples - you retrieve objects via URLs with standard HTTP methods.

Network file storage (A) presents data as a shared filesystem (NFS, SMB), accessed by mounting a drive, not via REST calls.

Ephemeral storage (C) is temporary instance-local storage that disappears when a VM terminates - it has no persistent endpoint at all.

Block storage (D) functions like a raw disk attached to a VM; applications access it at the OS/filesystem level, not through HTTP APIs.

Memory tip: Think "O for Object, O for Open Web" - object storage is the cloud storage type designed for the open web, so REST (the web's protocol) is its native language.
