Cloud Storage is a managed service for storing unstructured data. This page describes the differences between the Trusted Cloud and Google Cloud versions of Cloud Storage.
For more detailed information about Cloud Storage, see the Cloud Storage overview and the rest of the Cloud Storage documentation.
Key differences
There are some differences between the Trusted Cloud version of Cloud Storage and the Google Cloud version. Some notable differences include the following:
- Trusted Cloud does not support features that use multiple locations, such as dual-regions, bucket relocation, and turbo replication.
- Trusted Cloud does not support Storage Insights.
- Trusted Cloud does not support domain-named buckets.
A more detailed list of differences is provided in the rest of this section. If you are already familiar with Google Cloud, we recommend that you review these differences carefully, particularly before designing an application to run on Trusted Cloud. We also recommend reviewing the general differences between Trusted Cloud and Google Cloud.
