Notes from Pluralsight course "Architecting Google Cloud Storage Configurations"

I found the Pluralsight course on Architecting Google Cloud Storage Configurations by Janani Ravi, a former Google engineer, useful & informative. Key points, slides from the video course & official GCP documentation with my annotations -




Cloud Storage pricing is based on the following components:

  1. Data storage: storing data in buckets.
  2. Network usage: accessing and moving data in buckets.
  3. Operations usage: performing actions within Cloud Storage.
  4. Retrieval and early deletion fees: applicable only for data stored in the Nearline Storage or Coldline Storage classes.
Bucket names are globally unique.

Operation charges apply when you perform operations within Cloud Storage.

An operation is an action that makes changes to or retrieves information about buckets and objects in Cloud Storage.

Operations are divided into three categories: Class A, Class B, and free.

A minimum storage duration applies to data stored as Nearline Storage (30 days) or Coldline Storage (90 days).

Early deletion charges apply when you overwrite or move an existing object before the minimum storage duration, because both actions delete the original file.
