Episode 21 — Storage Models: Object, Block and File Design Considerations
Description
Cloud storage comes in several forms, each optimized for different use cases and each carrying unique security considerations. This episode explores the distinctions among object, block, and file storage, clarifying how they function, how access is controlled, and where risks arise. You’ll learn why object storage dominates cloud-native environments, how block storage supports databases and transactional systems, and why file storage is often used for lift-and-shift applications. These differences are not just technical—they carry real implications for encryption, performance, and compliance.
We also highlight how the CCSP exam tests understanding of storage security, such as encryption at rest, lifecycle management, and exposure risks from misconfigured access controls. Recognizing how different storage types integrate with cloud services helps you make better design decisions in real-world settings and ensures you are ready to tackle scenario-based questions that cut across multiple domains.
