Change the storage class of buckets and objects

• We can modify the storage class fo bucket either from gsutil or from console
• Console:
• The similar functionality on the cmdline can be achieved by using

gsutil rewrite -s coldine gs://bucketname/objectname

Upload the data to the buckets

• Console:
• gsutil: Refer Here for cp command line reference

Exercise:

• Create a folder in your local machine and create some files
• Now write the gsutil commands to create the storage bucket and upload all the files to the storage bucket

gsutil cp tbd/*.txt gs://<bucket-name>

• Now lets create some more files
• Now lets synchronize the contents of the folder to gcs bucket using gcs rsync

gsutil rsync ./tbd gs://<bucket-name>
gsutil ls gs://<bucket-name>/

• Try to find a cli to set objectReader Permission to all objects in a bucket
• To display the disk usage of the objects

Scenario:

• We are using GCS to store the documents
• Our organizations updates these documents regulary and needs to have the history of the documents.
• In GCS we have versioning
• To set versioning

gsutil versioning set on gs://bucketname

• Now lets upload 1.txt again
• when you upload a new version then the generation number is associated with the file
