Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 322

What type of storage structure does object storage employ to maintain files?

Answer options

• A. Directory
• B. Hierarchical
• C. tree
• D. Flat

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Object storage uses a flat storage structure, which means that files are stored in a single, large pool without a traditional hierarchy. This allows for scalability and easier management of large amounts of unstructured data. The other options, such as Directory and Hierarchical, imply a structured approach that is not characteristic of how object storage operates.
