Buckets and objects are the two fundamental resources in Cloud Storage. A bucket is a container that holds objects, and an object is an immutable blob of data (a file) with associated metadata. Understanding how to create, configure, and manage buckets and objects is essential for effective use of Cloud Storage.
A bucket is a top-level container for objects. Every object must reside in a bucket.

| Multi-region | EU, US, ASIA | Multiple data centres across a large geographic area — highest availability |
The location is set at bucket creation time and cannot be changed afterwards.
