Connecting read-only storage bucket
How to limit the permissions needed when connecting your storage.
Immutable storage or object-locked storage is a secure data copy that cannot be altered or deleted, providing robust protection against modifications or deletions. It’s backup data is safe from potential changes or deletions, meaning that its original integrity stays intact. It is also useful when it comes to designing and implementing a resilient data protection strategy.
