- Characteristics defined on a per-bucket basis include:
- Geographic location: The physical location of data storage servers.
- Default storage class: Defines the tier of storage for the bucket.
- Globally-unique name: Each bucket must have a unique identifier across the entire cloud storage platform.
Cloud Storage vs. File Storage
- Cloud Storage is classified as object storage, not designed for file system operations.
- Persistent Disk storage is used by Compute Engine virtual machines for file systems, not Cloud Storage.
Coldline Storage Class Benefits
- Coldline storage class is ideal for customers seeking to reduce costs associated with infrequently accessed data.
- While billed at a low monthly storage rate, retrieving data from Coldline incurs additional fees, making it suitable for long-term, rarely accessed information.
