Cloud Storage allows world-wide storage and retrieval of any amount of data
at any time. You can use Cloud Storage for a range of scenarios including
serving website content, storing data for archival and disaster recovery, or
distributing large data objects to users via direct download. For more
information, seeProduct overview of Cloud Storage.
This document describes the connections and parameters you can configure when
using App Design Center to create a Cloud Storage bucket. The
configuration parameters are based on theterraform-google-cloud-storageTerraform module.
Component connections
The following table includes the components that you can connect to a
Cloud Storage bucket, and the resulting updates to your application and
its generated Terraform code.
