In AWS (and computing in general), which of block vs object storage is more scalable, and why?
Object Storage is more scalable
Block storage is always attached to a machine with an OS and therefore has limit of how much data you can store there, where as object storage scales infinitely as it is not attached to host OS (i.e. files have metadata which helps find them easier without need of OS). Think EBS vs S3.
