Compatibility with the Amazon S3 API

To manage Object Storage, you can use tools that are compatible with Amazon S3, including the API, CLI, WinSCP, Java SDK, or Python SDK.

Standard and cold storage

Use standard storage for actively used objects, and pay less by keeping rarely accessed data in cold storage.

Implement your projects using Object Storage

Object Storage safeguards important data by automatically creating multiple copies of each object and placing them in different availability zones. If one availability zone fails, objects are restored from copies in other zones.

Object Storage allows to store any type of data. You can also set up data backups to a bucket using various software.

To create and improve ML algorithms, you need a training set. The more data you upload, the more accurate the algorithms will be. Object Storage lets you store lots of statistic data and makes it easier to collect historical data about your business.

Getting started

Create and configure your first bucket.

What’s the difference between storing data on a Compute Cloud disk and in Object Storage?

When storing data in Object Storage:

You get unlimited disk space.

In Yandex Compute Cloud, you are limited to a specified disk size.

Data is always available and can be managed directly.

Managing data on a Compute Cloud disk means managing a VM that the disk is attached to. Data on the disk is only available when the VM is running.

Data is easily shared: file links with a limited lifetimes.

To share data stored on a Compute Cloud disk, you need to grant a user access to the VM over SSH or RDP. You also have to configure access to specific files yourself.

You pay for data storage, operations, and outgoing traffic.
