Introduction to Oracle Cloud Object Storage Connector

Introduction to
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 Connector

You can use
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 Connector to read data from or write data to
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
.
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 is agnostic to the data content type and enables a wide variety of use cases. You can send backup and archive data offsite, design big data analytics workloads to generate business insights, or build scale-out web applications. When a read request is made,
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 serves the most recent copy of the data that was written to the system. The elasticity of the
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 enables you to start small and scale applications as they evolve, and you always pay for only what you use.
You can store large data sets using
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
. For example, whether you're storing pharmaceutical or financial data, or multimedia files such as photos and videos, you can use
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 as your big data object store.
You can use an
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 connection as a source and as a target in mappings. You can create a mapping task to process data based on the data flow logic defined in a mapping or integration template.

Core components of
Oracle Cloud Object Storage

Objects
All data, regardless of content type, is stored as objects in
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
. For example, log files, video files, and audio files are all stored as objects.
Bucket
A bucket is a logical container that stores objects. Buckets can serve as a grouping mechanism to store related objects together.
Namespace
A namespace is the logical entity that lets you control a personal bucket namespace.
Oracle Cloud Object Storage
 bucket names are not global. Bucket names need to be unique within the context of a namespace, but can be repeated across namespaces. Each tenant is associated with one default namespace (tenant name) that spans all compartments.
