When it comes to the need to build and maintain a storage solution, you should choose a solution that allows you to have highly scalable, durable, distributed, and secure storage. These are essentials requirements that you should consider to have an optimized solution and to avoid data loss and downtime. To accomplish this, Alibaba offers Object Storage Service (OSS). This is an easy-to-use, secure, and distributed object storage service that allows you to store and retrieve any kind of size object.
Alibaba OSS offers you different storage solutions, depending on the kind of storage you want, and accessibility and durability. Each of them guarantees you the durability of 99,999999999%. To avoid having a single point of failure (SPOF), OSS distributes your objects in multiple zones, so even if a single zone fails, you can always access your storage.
Alibaba OSS allows you to leverage both server-side and client-side encryption, and it lets you perform computational operations on the objects you upload (it supports big data analytic tools such as Hadoop and Spark).
In this lab, you will use Alibaba OSS to create a storage bucket, upload some files, and enable server-side encryption on the bucket.
Upon completion of this beginner level lab you will be able to:
