Google Cloud - Disk (7)

Google Cloud Disk provides various persistent storage options for virtual machines (VMs) in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). It offers scalable, high-performance block storage that can be used as primary storage for VM instances.

Key components and features of Google Cloud Disk include:

• Persistent Disks: Durable storage that exists independently of the VM, retaining data even after the VM is deleted. Types include:

  Standard Persistent Disks: Cost-effective storage with balanced performance for general workloads.

  SSD Persistent Disks: High-performance storage for I/O-intensive applications.

  Balanced Persistent Disks: Offer a balance between performance and cost, suitable for a wide range of workloads.

• Local SSDs: High-performance storage physically attached to the host machine, providing ultra-low latency and high IOPS.

• Regional Persistent Disks: Provide synchronous replication of data across two zones within the same region for high availability and durability.

• Snapshot: Point-in-time copies of persistent disks, useful for backups and creating new persistent disks.

• Automatic Backups: Scheduled backups of persistent disks to ensure data protection and disaster recovery.

• Disk Encryption: Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with options for customer-managed encryption keys.

• Resize Disks: Increase the size of persistent disks without downtime to accommodate growing data needs.

• Disk Types: Different types of disks (Standard, SSD, Balanced) can be used based on performance and cost requirements.

Integrating Google Cloud Disk with SymphonyAI Service Automation enhances storage management by automating processes, improving monitoring, and streamlining workflows. This integration helps automate routine tasks, improve monitoring and alerting, enforce compliance, and streamline workflows, ultimately leading to better management of storage resources and enhanced operational efficiency.
