What is the difference between Block Volumes and Object Storage and which ones are supported on Apiculus?

Block Storage: Storage such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives, use block-level access protocols like iSCSI and Fibre Channel to read and write data. This storage method is ideal for low-latency, high-performance environments where data access speed is crucial. Block Volumes is a core cloud Service on Apiculus.

Object Storage: It is a technology that manages data as objects. All data is stored in one large repository, which may be distributed across multiple physical storage devices instead of being divided into files or folders. Object Storage is a service based on the S3 protocol. It allows you to store objects, i.e., documents, images, videos, etc. Apiculus offers object storage as a service (AS3) as an integration with the Cloudian Hyperstore. Service providers can offer this service through Apiculus CloudConsole.
