You have a Cloud Storage bucket containing millions of images. You want to automatically transition images older than 90 days to Nearline storage to save costs, and delete images older than 365 days.
What is the MOST efficient way to implement this?
Answer options:
A.
Write a Cloud Function triggered by a Cloud Scheduler job to run a gsutil script daily.
B.
Configure an Object Lifecycle Management policy on the bucket.
C.
Use the Storage Transfer Service to move old files to a new Nearline bucket.
D.
Manually run 'gsutil rewrite' commands every month.
How to approach this question
Identify the native Cloud Storage feature for automating data retention and tiering.
Full Answer
B.Configure an Object Lifecycle Management policy on the bucket.✓ Correct
Configure an Object Lifecycle Management policy on the bucket.
Cloud Storage Object Lifecycle Management allows you to set rules on a bucket. GCP will automatically evaluate objects against these rules and perform actions (like SetStorageClass to Nearline, or Delete) when the conditions (like Age > 90 days) are met.
Common mistakes
Choosing to write a custom script, which ignores the built-in managed service.
