help Huawei Cloud Object Storage Service (OBS) FAQ
What is Huawei Cloud OBS used for?
Huawei Cloud Object Storage Service stores unstructured objects such as images, videos, backups, logs, and datasets in regional buckets. It is object storage, so applications address files as objects rather than treating OBS like a local disk volume. [Huawei Cloud OBS](https://www.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/special/hwy-obs-pro.html)
Which storage classes does Huawei Cloud OBS provide?
Huawei documents Standard, Infrequent Access, Archive, and Deep Archive storage classes. Standard is intended for frequently accessed data, while Archive and Deep Archive trade retrieval speed for lower long-term storage cost.

Does an OBS bucket belong to a specific region?
Yes. Each bucket is created in a selected Huawei Cloud region and has associated storage-class and access-permission settings. Applications should choose the region with data-residency, latency, and disaster-recovery requirements in mind.
Can applications use an S3-compatible API with Huawei OBS?
Yes. Huawei documents OBS API compatibility with Amazon Simple Storage Service APIs, which can simplify migration from S3-oriented tooling. Compatibility still needs to be tested for the specific SDK features, authentication method, and storage class being used.
