In this chapter, we have seen how Google Cloud Storage can be used to store your static, unstructured data, and how it compares with other forms of data storage. You should now be familiar with how to create buckets, populate them with data, and then manage them using versioning and life cycle policies.We have touched upon securing data in the buckets using encryption, as well as restricting access using ACLs and IAM. We have also looked into how to integrate your GCS buckets with your existing infrastructure by mounting it to your hosts.
Now that we have seen how to manage unstructured data, we can move along and explore the various options supplied by Google Cloud to manage structured information.
