Zettabyte Object Storage (ZOS) is a cloud storage service that provides reliable, secure, and cost-effective storage solutions. It offers different storage types tailored to various service requirements, thereby optimizing storage costs.

Each bucket in ZOS can be configured with its own storage type, access permissions, and designated region. You can create multiple buckets with varying storage types and access permissions across different regions, and configure advanced features to accommodate diverse storage scenarios.

ZOS provides three storage types: Standard storage, Infrequent Access (IA) storage, and Archive storage. For more information, see Storage Class. When creating a bucket, you can specify its storage type. Once created, the storage type cannot be changed.

In ZOS, a bucket name must be globally unique and cannot be changed once set. It cannot be replicated with any other bucket, even those created by other users. The region where a bucket resides cannot be changed once set. During bucket creation, a default access control list (ACL) is generated, specifying permissions for the users listed. Only users with specific permissions can perform operations within the bucket, including creating, deleting, and querying objects.

Each account can create up to 100 storage buckets. It is recommended to utilize permission control mechanisms together to effectively plan and manage storage buckets. For example, you can set up distinct directories within a bucket by utilizing object prefixes and implement permission control mechanisms to ensure permission isolation among various service departments. There are no limitations on the quantity or size of objects within a bucket, alleviating concerns regarding scalability.

ZOS is a service utilizing REST-style HTTP and HTTPS protocols, enabling resource location through URLs.
