Säilytysbucket

Säilytysbucket, often translated as "storage bucket," is a term primarily used in cloud computing contexts, particularly with object storage services like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage. It represents a fundamental container for storing digital data. Think of it as a top-level folder or directory within a cloud storage system where your files, or objects, are organized.

Each säilytysbucket has a globally unique name. This name must be chosen carefully, as it cannot be changed once created. Objects within a bucket are then accessed using a unique key, which is essentially the object's name or path within the bucket. This structure allows for the efficient retrieval and management of large amounts of unstructured data, such as images, videos, documents, and backups.

Säilytysbuckets offer various configurations to control access, data redundancy, and cost. Access control policies determine who can read, write, or delete objects within the bucket. Data redundancy features ensure that data is stored reliably, often across multiple physical locations. Pricing is typically based on the amount of data stored, the number of requests made, and data transfer out of the bucket. Säilytysbuckets are a cornerstone of modern cloud infrastructure, enabling scalable and cost-effective data storage solutions for a wide range of applications.
