Loading and Moving Data to Cloud Storage
Cloud Storage is used for a variety of storage use cases, including long-term storage and archiving, file transfers, and data sharing. This section describes how to create storage buckets, load data into storage buckets, and move objects between storage buckets.
Loading and Moving Data to Cloud Storage Using the Console
Loading data into Cloud Storage is a common task and easily done using Cloud Console.
Navigate to the Cloud Storage page of Cloud Console. You will see either a list of existing buckets or an option to create a new bucket (see Figure 13.1).
FIGURE 13.1 The first step in loading data into Cloud Storage is to create a bucket.
When you create a bucket, you are prompted to specify the storage class of the bucket and the region to store it in, as shown in Figure 13.2.
