Object storage is optimized for storing and retrieving large binary objects (images, files, video and audio streams, large application data objects and documents, virtual machine disk images). Large data files are also popularly used in this model, for example, delimiter file (CSV), parquet, and ORC. Object stores can manage extremely large amounts of unstructured data.

Object storage is definitely the way to go for this scenario!

Columnar? Seems like an odd choice for files and media.

Wait, can key/value stores even manage that much data?

Totally agree, they handle files and metadata well!

I think object stores are the best fit for this.

Columnar stores seem off for this scenario; I believe they’re more for analytical queries, not file storage.

I practiced a question like this, and I feel like document stores are more suited for structured data rather than files.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about key/value stores being good for simple data retrieval.

I think the object data store might be the best choice here since it can handle files and metadata together.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the definition of ILFs to determine which of these options might qualify.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Kubernetes has a lot of different features, but I'm not sure which one would be best for maintaining consistent hostnames. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a classic control chart question. I'd start by looking for any obvious patterns or outliers in the data, then consider whether I need to collect more data or dig deeper into the root causes.
