Complete the code to create a Google Cloud Storage bucket with the Standard storage class.

GCP

resource "google_storage_bucket" "my_bucket" {
  name          = "my-standard-bucket"
  location      = "US"
  storage_class = "[1]"
}

Common Mistakes

Choosing a colder storage class like Coldline or Archive for frequently accessed data.

Using Nearline which is for infrequent access but not the hottest data.

The Standard storage class is used for frequently accessed data and offers low latency and high availability.

Complete the code to set the storage class to Nearline for infrequently accessed data.

GCP

resource "google_storage_bucket" "my_bucket" {
  name          = "my-nearline-bucket"
  location      = "US"
  storage_class = "[1]"
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing Nearline with Coldline or Archive which are for even colder data.

Using Standard which is more expensive for infrequent access.

Nearline storage class is designed for data accessed less than once a month, offering lower cost than Standard but with slightly higher access costs.

Fix the error in the storage class assignment for cold data storage.

GCP

resource "google_storage_bucket" "cold_bucket" {
  name          = "my-cold-bucket"
  location      = "US"
  storage_class = "[1]"
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using Archive which is for data accessed very rarely and has long retrieval times.

Using Standard or Nearline which are more expensive for cold data.

Coldline storage class is optimized for data accessed less than once a quarter, suitable for cold data with low storage cost and higher access cost.

Fill both blanks to create a bucket with Archive storage class in the ASIA location.

GCP

resource "google_storage_bucket" "archive_bucket" {
  name          = "my-archive-bucket"
  location      = "[1]"
  storage_class = "[2]"
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up location regions like US instead of ASIA.

Using Standard or Nearline for Archive use cases.

The Archive storage class is for data accessed less than once a year, with the lowest storage cost but highest retrieval latency. The location ASIA specifies the bucket region.

Fill all three blanks to create a bucket named 'backup-bucket' in EU with Coldline storage class.

GCP

resource "google_storage_bucket" "backup_bucket" {
  name          = "[1]"
  location      = "[2]"
  storage_class = "[3]"
}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using US instead of EU for location.

Choosing Standard or Archive instead of Coldline for cold backups.

This configuration creates a bucket named backup-bucket in the EU region using the Coldline storage class, ideal for cold data backups.
