Google Cloud - Storage (9)

Google Cloud Storage is a scalable, secure, and durable object storage service for storing and accessing data in the cloud. It offers a variety of storage classes to meet different data access needs and pricing preferences, making it suitable for a wide range of use cases, from data archiving to serving website content.

Key components and features of Google Cloud Storage include:

• Storage Classes: Different storage classes for various data access needs:

  Standard Storage: Best for frequently accessed data.

  Nearline Storage: Ideal for data accessed less than once a month.

  Coldline Storage: Suitable for data accessed less than once a year.

  Archive Storage: Designed for long-term data archiving with minimal access.

• Buckets: Containers for storing objects, where each bucket can be configured with its own storage class, location, and access controls.

• Objects: Individual pieces of data stored in buckets, such as files, images, videos, or backups.

• Data Lifecycle Management: Policies to automatically transition data between storage classes or delete data based on specified conditions.

• Access Control: Fine-grained access controls using Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Access Control Lists (ACLs).

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

• Versioning: Maintains multiple versions of objects to recover from unintended changes or deletions.

• Data Transfer: Tools for transferring data to and from Google Cloud Storage, including gsutil, Storage Transfer Service, and Transfer Appliance.

• Integration: Seamless integration with other Google Cloud services and third-party tools for analytics, machine learning, and data processing.
