Access Transparency for Storage Transfer Service
Access Transparency is a part
of Google's long-term commitment to transparency and user
trust. Access Transparency logs record the actions that Google personnel take
when accessing customer content.
The only customer core content that Storage Transfer Service stores are third-party
credentials, such as access keys for S3 or Azure. While our administrators
cannot access these credentials, you can further enhance your security by using
Secret Manager to store your credentials instead of
passing them to the job creation command directly. This is the recommended
approach. See the instructions for using secrets in Storage Transfer Service for
Azure or for
AWS S3.
