Domain 4.4: Managing storage and database solutions — GCP ACE Practice Question 37

How to approach this question

Identify the native Cloud Storage feature for automating data retention and tiering.

Full Answer

C.Configure Object Lifecycle Management rules on the bucket.✓ Correct

Cloud Storage Object Lifecycle Management allows you to define rules that automatically perform actions on objects in a bucket. You can set rules to change the storage class (e.g., to Coldline) or delete objects based on conditions like age (e.g., older than 30 days). This requires no custom code or cron jobs.

Common mistakes

Choosing custom scripting or Cloud Functions, ignoring the built-in managed feature.

You have a Cloud Storage bucket used for storing daily database backups. You want to automatically transition backups older than 30 days to Coldline storage, and delete backups older than 365 days.
