Google Cloud has announced several news regarding storage services for companiesfor what you have used your event A Spotlight on Storage. The first is Google Cloud Hyperdisk, a next-generation persistent disk that allows you to dynamically and seamlessly adjust block storage performance to your workload. With it, a company can provision IOPS and have independent throughput for different applications. In addition, it offers the possibility of adaptively changing the performance of each application over time.
Another novelty is the arrival of the Filestore multiple file shares for GKE. With this service, administrators can easily create a Filestore instance and assign simultaneous shares of parts of the storage to it. On one or thousands of GKE clusters. It also offers improvements related to background storage, which is managed while the application is running in GKE, and has a regional storage availability of 99.99%.
On the other hand, Cloud Storage has a new function: auto class. Its task is to facilitate storage management and help optimize costs. The function automatically moves objects to classes considered colder or warmer. This consideration is made based on the moment in which they were accessed, although it is also carried out in accordance with various predefined policies. It is an automated management option based on policies, which allows customers to stop performing said operation, as well as control costs, manually.
Google Cloud customers will also have a new feature that allows them to get more insights into storage options, making it easier for them to manage and optimize their cloud storage and operations. It is Storage Insights, which provides actionable insights from objects stored in Cloud Storage. Its goal is to provide administrators with the information they need to make storage management decisions.
The company has also launched a service of backup and disaster recovery in Google Cloud, with which to protect data and applications. It is an integrated data protection solution for critical applications and databases, allowing you to centrally manage data protection and disaster recovery policies from the Google Cloud console.
In addition to these developments, Google Cloud has expanded the number of dual regions in Cloud Storage, as well as confirming that turbo replication features are now available in nine regions and three continents. With them you can have a single bucket with an RTO (recovery time objective) of zero, and optionally with an RPO (recovery time objective) of less than 15 minutes. Apart from this, the replication features make application design easier by offering high availability and allowing a single set of APIs to be used, regardless of where the data is stored.
