5 tasks

In this lab, you will learn how to configure and implement access control permissions in Google Cloud Storage, set up lifecycle management policies to optimize storage costs, and apply security and encryption measures to ensure data compliance. This hands-on lab focuses on demonstrating practical skills for configuring least privileged access and lifecycle rules for storage objects, helping you prepare for the data management section of the Associate Cloud Engineer exam.

Scenario

Acme Corp, a growing e-commerce platform, needs to securely manage its customer data stored in Google Cloud Storage. The company wants to ensure least privileged access to its storage resources and wants to implement lifecycle rules to transition objects into different storage classes based on access frequency and cost-effectiveness. Your task is to set up these configurations in their project.
