A bucket, in the context of cloud storage, is a container used to store data objects, such as files and documents. Buckets are commonly used in object storage services, which are designed for high-speed access and scalability. Each bucket typically has a unique name within a specific region and can hold an unlimited number of objects.
For example, in Tencent Cloud's COS (Cloud Object Storage), a bucket is the primary container for storing files. Users can create multiple buckets to organize their data according to different needs, such as by project, date, or type of content.
Tencent Cloud COS offers a reliable and secure object storage service that allows users to store, access, and manage large amounts of data easily. It supports various features like data encryption, lifecycle management, and cross-region replication to meet different business requirements.
