In this lab, you learn how to use Cloud Storage Bucket Lock feature which allows you to configure a data retention policy for a Cloud Storage bucket that governs how long objects in the bucket must be retained. The feature also allows you to lock the data retention policy, permanently preventing the policy from being reduced or removed.
Combined with Cloud Storage detailed audit logging mode, which logs Cloud Storage request and response details, or Object Lifecycle Management, Bucket Lock can help with regulatory and compliance requirements, such as those associated with FINRA, SEC, and CFTC. You can also use Bucket Lock to address certain health care industry retention regulations.
