BOS Development Introduction
Baidu object storage (BOS) provides stable, secure, efficient, and highly scalable storage services. It supports maximum 5TB text, multimedia, and binary, and any other types of data storage in a single file. Data is stored in multiple regions and across clusters to achieve unified utilization of resources, reduce the difficulty of use and improve work efficiency.
BOS provides a standard REST interface that can be used with any Internet development kit, and provides a multi-language SDK. This Developer Guide is intended for development users, and mainly explains the core concepts of BOS (such as bucket and object) and how to use these resources through BOS API and SDK.
