Object storage differs from block storage in that objects are

  • A.addressed by key and replaced whole
  • B.addressed by block offset and modified in place
  • C.always smaller than a single kilobyte
  • D.kept only in the memory of a host

Answer: A

Correct answer: addressed by key and replaced whole

An object store is a flat namespace of keys mapping to blobs, and an object is written or replaced in its entirety rather than edited in place. Block storage presents raw blocks that a filesystem addresses by offset and modifies individually. That single difference explains everything else: object stores scale almost without limit and are reached over HTTP, but they cannot serve as the disk under a database.
