How to create a cloud storage bucket in GCP

Question

I am using a Linux VM instance of compute engine. How do I create a cloud storage bucket?

Answer 1

Buckets are the basic containers that hold your data in Cloud Storage. Here's how you can create a bucket using gsutil commands

To create a bucket:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Use the gsutil mb command and a unique name to create a bucket:

   gsutil mb -l us-east1 gs://my-awesome-bucket/

   This uses a bucket named "my-awesome-bucket." You must choose your own, globally-unique, bucket name

3. You've just created a bucket where you can store your stuff!

4. If successful, the command returns:

   Creating gs://my-awesome-bucket/...
