Cloud Storage is GCP’s object storage. This service allows you to store files in containers known as buckets. We will go into more detail about Cloud Storage in Chapter 11, but for this chapter you just need to understand that Cloud Storage uses buckets to store files. When files are created, deleted, or archived, or their metadata changes, an event can invoke a function.
