Description: The RADOS Gateway is an interface that allows access to RADOS object storage using protocols like S3. RADOS, which stands for ‘Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store’, is the underlying storage system of Ceph, designed to provide scalable and reliable storage. The Gateway acts as an intermediary that translates client requests into operations that can be understood by the RADOS system. This allows users to interact with object storage in a simple and efficient manner, using standard protocols that are widely adopted in the industry. Among its main features are the ability to handle large volumes of data, high availability, and fault tolerance, making it an ideal solution for applications that require fast and reliable data access. Additionally, the RADOS Gateway is compatible with multiple programming languages and platforms, facilitating its integration into various software architectures. Its relevance in the ecosystem of distributed storage lies in its ability to democratize access to object storage, allowing organizations to leverage the advantages of distributed storage without the need to implement proprietary or complex solutions.
