Study Notes
Using Google Cloud Managed Storage Services with GKE
- Utilize a new service account with least privilege and store credentials in a Kubernetes secret for secure API access to Google Cloud services from GKE applications.
- Kubernetes storage classes are not related to Cloud Storage's storage classes.
- Coldline storage class offers the lowest per-gigabyte storage charges among Google Cloud Storage options.
- For SQL databases scaling beyond tens of terabytes, consider using Cloud Spanner.
- Cloud BigTable is suitable for NoSQL database needs, especially for MapReduce operations.
- To enable secure application access to Google Cloud services, provide the application with credentials for a Google IAM account that has the necessary permissions.
- The best practice is to create separate Google Cloud Service Accounts for each application and assign specific permissions accordingly.
- For regulatory compliance archives requiring periodic audits, use Google Storage - Nearline, which is suitable for infrequent access yet requires long-term storage.
