Lifecycle management rules in GCP - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to specify the action type in a lifecycle rule.

GCP

{
  "rule": {
    "action": {
      "type": "[1]"
    },
    "condition": {
      "age": 30
    }
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ADelete

BEncrypt

CNotify

DArchive

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using an invalid action type like 'Notify' which is not supported.

Confusing action types with condition fields.

The Delete action is used to remove objects after the condition is met.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the condition for object age in days.

GCP

{
  "rule": {
    "action": {
      "type": "Delete"
    },
    "condition": {
      "[1]": 60
    }
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AcreatedBefore

Bage

CisLive

DmatchesStorageClass

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'createdBefore' which expects a date, not a number.

Using 'isLive' which is a boolean, not an age.

The age condition specifies the minimum age in days before the action applies.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the lifecycle rule by completing the missing field for storage class transition.

GCP

{
  "rule": {
    "action": {
      "type": "SetStorageClass",
      "storageClass": "[1]"
    },
    "condition": {
      "age": 90
    }
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ANEARLINE

BSTANDARD

CARCHIVE

DCOLDLINE

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'STANDARD' which is the default and not a transition.

Using 'ARCHIVE' which is usually for very long-term storage.

The COLDLINE storage class is used for infrequently accessed data and is a common transition target.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a lifecycle rule that deletes noncurrent versions older than 30 days.

GCP

{
  "rule": {
    "action": {
      "type": "[1]"
    },
    "condition": {
      "age": 30,
      "[2]": false
    }
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ADelete

BSetStorageClass

CisLive

DmatchesPrefix

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'SetStorageClass' instead of 'Delete' for removal.

Confusing 'isLive' with 'matchesPrefix' which filters by name.

The action Delete removes objects. The condition isLive set to false targets noncurrent versions.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a lifecycle rule that transitions objects with prefix 'logs/' to NEARLINE storage after 45 days.

GCP

{
  "rule": {
    "action": {
      "type": "[1]",
      "storageClass": "[2]"
    },
    "condition": {
      "age": [3],
      "matchesPrefix": ["logs/"]
    }
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

ADelete

BSetStorageClass

CNEARLINE

D45

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Delete' instead of 'SetStorageClass' for transition.

Setting age to 60 instead of 45.

Using wrong storage class like 'COLDLINE'.

The action SetStorageClass changes storage class. NEARLINE is a cheaper storage class for infrequent access. The age condition is set to 45 days.
