Overall Satisfaction with IBM Cloud Object Storage
I am using IBM Cloud Object Storage for developing certain solutions with IBM Watson services. I store media files like audio and video files and also files with data like spreadsheets, CSVs, JSON objects. It is very easy to upload files to Cloud Object Storage and work with them. Most of the processes like adding credentials and adding them as streaming objects are pretty much automated. There is ample documentation available online and on the IBM cloud website for reference.
- Easy to use over other clouds like file upload and download. Also the feature of cataloging helps in maintaining data repositories efficiently.
- Adding credentials directly to services and development notebooks
- Embedded IAM authentication helps in integrating with other IBM cloud services
- Lite plan needs to provide more data storage capacity for new users
- Need to provide data backup facility without extra charges
- File operations should be allowed inside Cloud Object Storage
- Has worked well for me so far
Spark integration has been an excellent feature. Also, the embedded SQL URL feature for each data object on Cloud Object Storage makes it easy for developers to copy it and use it later in their code.
Yes, we mostly use the active and dynamic data and Cloud Object Storage has worked well so far.
Easy to use, low cost compared to competitors
