Storage is one of the main resources needed in today's technological systems and software development, along with computation and network. You constantly depend on storage components to persist your data, whether your systems are on-premises, in the cloud, or both. 

The idea of cloud-based storage and the many services offered for it, however, could seem challenging if you are accustomed to the world of data centres, such as Google Cloud Storage, with SAN, NAS, and local hard drives.

We will clarify the many storage solutions available through the Google Cloud Platform in this post.

Persistent Discs for block storage, Filestore for network file storage, and Cloud Storage for object storage are the three primary services offered by Google Cloud for various forms of storage. The platform's basic services serve as the foundation for the bulk of Google Cloud services as well as the systems you create on top of the platform.

Users of NetApp products may now benefit from the Google Cloud thanks to the availability of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. Let's examine each of these Google Cloud storage services in more detail, their intended uses, and the use cases that each is best suited to address.Block Storage through Google Cloud Persistent DiscsBlock storage has become the standard storage type for both on-premises and cloud-based applications. All virtual machines in Google Cloud (Google Cloud Compute Engine) use a Google Cloud Persistent Disc for block storage. 

It is best to think of those persistent discs as simple USB drives to better grasp it. They let you to provide, as their name implies, data persistence for your services whenever virtual machines are launched, halted, or terminated. They may be attached to or removed from virtual machines.

These persistent discs enable the Google Kubernetes Engine service in addition to the virtual machines on Google Cloud Compute Engine.

A Google Cloud Persistent Disc can be an HDD or an SSD, with the latter being better for high I/O performance, much like a virtual disc on your local PC. Additionally, there is the option to select their location and the level of required availability: they may be Regional, Zonal, or Local. Local discs should be mentioned even if they aren't really a part of the Google Cloud Persistent Disc service. 

Although they offer the highest I/O performance, these local discs are not frequently advised owing to their low availability and redundancy even if they are only present on the hardware where the virtual machine is executing. On the other side, Regional discs will provide you with high availability out of the box, with your discs being reproduced invisibly in various zones within a region. 

Zonal discs, which are storage discs that are likewise highly accessible but only inside a specific zone, offer a more reasonable (and less expensive) solution. Other wonderful features of Google Cloud Persistent Discs that are less well known include automatic encryption, the ability to resize while in use, and a snapshot option that can be used for both backup and creating virtual machine images.
