Which Storage Should I Use?
Your use case’s particular requirements will determine which Google Cloud Platform (GCP) storage option is best for you. The following list of typical GCP storage options and use cases include:
Object Storage: Large amounts of data, such as pictures, movies, backups, and archives, can be stored in the cloud. A RESTful API is used to access cloud storage, which makes it simple to integrate with other programs and services.
Block Storage: Compute Engine persistent disks are suitable for storing data that require low-latency access, such as databases, transactional workloads, and high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
FileStore: Workloads including media rendering, analytics, and content management are ideal for Cloud Filestore. Despite being primarily an object storage service, cloud storage can also be used to store files.
