Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
We have a few use-cases for IBM Cloud Object Storage:
1) Use as a remote backend for Terraform state
2) Use as network "file" storage mounted to our Kubernetes clusters across the globe
3) Use as durable object storage

- Durability and reliability
- S3 API compatibility
- Terrible UI for navigation
- Terrible IBM CLI (I am currently using S3 compatible API)
- Hard to calculate. Best I can do is draw comparison on S3 vs IBM COS.
No, we are not currently using the Hadoop stack.
I have not used it.
We don't store that much to focus on tiering. As soon as we do, will let you know.
- Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service)
It's hard to compete with S3 when they were the first to do it. If the UI/CLI were as intuitive as AWS, I would rate it equal but unfortunately, I tend to use S3-compatible tools.
