Google Cloud Storage

This page describes the configuration options for the Google Cloud Storage resource. The Google Cloud Storage resource is used to configure an Google Cloud Storage Bucket as a storage backend. It is defined by the .spec.gcsBucket field in a Storage.

Configuring the bucket

To configure the bucket, you must specify its name. You can also set an optional path prefix.

apiVersion: kannika.io/v1alpha
kind: Storage
metadata:
  name: gcs-storage
spec:
  gcsBucket:
    bucket: my-bucket
    prefix: path/to/directory          # Optional
    description: "This is a GCS bucket" # Optional

Caution

Changing the bucket or prefix will not move existing data.

Configuring authentication to the GCS bucket

For authentication, please check the section on GCP Authentication

Configuring a data retention policy

A retention policy to delete old data can be configured in a Backup.

Make sure the bucket has no retention policy defined or it might interfere with Armory’s own book keeping.
