Cloud Storage is a global, secure, and scalable object store for immutable data such as images, text, videos, and other file formats. You can add data to it or retrieve data from it as often as your application needs. The objects stored have an ID, metadata, attributes, and the actual data. The metadata can include all sorts of things,  including the security classification of the file, the applications that can access it, and similar information. The ID, metadata, and attributes make object storage an appealing storage choice for a large variety of applications ranging from web serving to data analytics.    Storage classes You store objects in buckets that are associated with a project, which are, in turn, grouped under an organization. There are four storage classes that are based on budget, availability, and access frequency.  Standard buckets for high-performance, frequent access, and highest availability - Regional or dual-regional locations for data accessed fr...

  Durability - how well your data is protected from loss or corruption - is a critical feature of any data storage service. We often receive questions about how to design workloads for durability and what specific durability assumptions a workload can make about Persistent Disk, Google Cloud’s reliable, high-performance block storage for Compute Engine virtual machine instances. To help, we recently published details about how we design Persistent Disk for extraordinary durability.   When we say “designed for”, disk durability represents the probability of data loss, by design, for a typical disk in a typical year using a set of assumptions about:  Hardware failures The likelihood of catastrophic events Isolation practices and engineering processes in Google data centers The internal encodings used by each disk type Specifically, here are all the Persistent Disk types we offer: To understand what these numbers mean, 99.999% durability means that with 1,000 disks, you...

  If you’re managing a crucial application that has to be fully fault-tolerant, you need your system to be able to handle every fault, no matter the type and scope of failure, with minimal downtime and data loss. Protecting against these faults means juggling numerous variables that can impact performance as well as recovery time and cost. Today’s managed database services take over the operational complexity that used to exist for database administrators. Growing your organization’s tolerance required adding machines, compute, and storage, plus the operational costs of IT management: performing backups, writing scripts, creating dashboards, and carrying out testing to make sure your platform is ready when problems arise--all in a secure way. At Google, our Cloud SQL managed database service offers three fault tolerance mechanisms —backup, high availability, and replication—and there are three major factors to consider for each of them: RTO (recovery time objective): When a failure...
