Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is an object storage service that allows for storing, accessing and manipulating data in the cloud. GCS storage is a fundamental component for a multitude of workflow processing use cases. Being able to successfully manage these objects is essential for any automation success. This allows you to easily integrate the monitoring and management of this cloud storage with your existing enterprise workload automation solution, as well as other cloud-native activity. You are instantly inheriting the advanced capabilities of your enterprise solution to deliver your digital transformation quicker and more successfully. By extending your existing enterprise automation to GCS you maintain end-to-end visibility, regain centralized command and control, alerting, SLA management, reporting and auditing.
Benefits and Use Cases
- Seamlessly integrate GCS operations into larger automated workflows.
- Upload, download, copy, move, or delete objects in Google Cloud Storage and check whether specific objects or folders exist in your automation workflow.
- Monitor and log storage operations in real time.
Example Use Case: Automated Data Movement and Archival
Track all storage activity with integrated monitoring and automate scheduled log file transfers from on-premise systems to GCS, verify backup files before downstream tasks, and trigger notifications or additional jobs based on upload success.
