Types of Storages Classes
Google Cloud Platform(GCP) offers different types of storage in storage classes that can be used for efferent purposes and we can use them based on their performances. The following are the storage classes available in GCP
- Standard Storage: The data which needs to be accessed frequently can be stored in Standard Storage for a general purpose. The data which is stored in this storage class is very highly available and helps us to decrease the latency.
- Nearline Storage: The data must be highly available but not accessed as frequently as standard storage. The which needs to be accessed within seconds or minutes can be stored in Nearline Storage.
- Coldline Storage: The data which is accessed infrequently can be stored in Coldline storage. The data which needs to be accessed within hours can be stored in this Coldline Storage.
The storage mentioned above will have different pricing, availability, and performance. Based on our requirements and cost we can choose the storage class that is required for us. We can also use lifecycle management rules to automatically transition data based on our requirements.
