Object Storage — Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect Practice Questions
Object storage is a storage paradigm that organizes data as discrete objects containing the data, metadata, and a unique identifier, rather than using a file hierarchy or block address scheme. In GCP this model is implemented by Cloud Storage, and the exam tests candidates on its fit for use cases such as data lakes, backup targets, and static web assets versus the trade-offs of file or block storage. Understanding object storage immutability, strong consistency guarantees (added in 2021), and signed URLs for temporary access is required for architecture questions.
