Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Block Storage

We use IBM Cloud Block Storage alongside our IBM Cloud implementations as the storage medium for static files on the cloud. It is used to serve static assets such as images and asset bundles for applications. In some cases it is used to serve static websites running only JavaScript, CSS and HTML (e.g. React and Angular applications). Being able to have cheap static storage on the IBM Cloud enables our organization to store objects effectively and provide granular access.
  • Cheap cloud storage
  • API access
  • Integration with application deployment pipelines
  • More options for stale object offloading
  • Granular access controls to object prefixes
  • Object lifecycle management
  • Static object storage on IBM Cloud
  • IBM Cloud service integrations
  • Simple-to-use API access
  • Language SDKs
  • Static storage configuration time reduced by 5%
  • Deployment pipeline configuration time reduced by 2-5%
Amazon S3 isn't on IBM Cloud and isn't the best solution to be used alongside applications deployed to the IBM Cloud.
