+| CCC-020103 | Scalability - Capacity Limit | Ability to store unlimited number of objects under a given maximum total capacity per bucket. |
+| CCC-020104 | Scalability - Object Size Limit | Ability to store large objects under a given maximum object size. |
+| CCC-020105 | Durability | High durability for stored objects through redundancy and replication. |
+| CCC-020106 | Availability | High availability for stored objects through replication over multiple (availability) zones within a region. |
+| CCC-020107 | Performance - Transaction Rate Limits | High throughput and low latency for read/write operations under given maximum transaction rate limits.  |
+| CCC-020108 | Performance - Querying | Ability to perform simple select queries to retrieve only a subset of objects from the bucket. |
