What is a Bucket in the context of data storage or system architecture?

In the context of data storage or system architecture, "Bucket" usually refers to a container for storing objects or data. For example, in cloud storage services (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage), a bucket is a logical container that holds files (objects).

A bucket is used to organize data, manage access, and simplify scaling. In programming, the term can also be used for other structures, such as in hash tables, where a bucket is a cell containing elements with the same hash.

Example: In Amazon S3, you create a bucket where you upload files, and you can configure access rights, versioning, and other parameters.
