Object Storage
Object storage keeps data as named objects in buckets or containers, accessed through service APIs. Unlike a local filesystem, it does not generally provide the same file-locking or in-place modification semantics.
Also known as: bucket
Why it matters
Durable remote storage supports caches and artifacts independently of runner lifetime.
Practical example
Store compressed cache archives and build reports as objects rather than treating a bucket as a local disk.
