Configuring and Implementing Data Storage Solutions
This chapter will explore how to store data in Google Cloud. We are going to cover the following storage types:
- Object storage – Google Cloud Storage
- Block storage – local and persistent disks for Compute Engine VMs and GKE
- File storage – Filestore
- Different types of databases – Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, Bigtable, Firestore, BigQuery, and Memorystore
Google Cloud provides multiple fully managed services for different types of application needs. Each section will look into a specific type of storage and their features, security, and availability. We will also cover the use cases of each category. Designing a storage strategy for cloud workloads is critical to ensure every application’s resiliency, performance, and response time.
