Understanding Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage Structure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage organizes data into buckets. Each bucket can contain an unlimited number of objects (files). You can think of a bucket as a root directory, and the objects as files within that directory. For more information on OCI Object Storage structure, visit the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage documentation.
