Is there a simple solution for point-in-time recovery of a Google Cloud Storage bucket (given that object versioning is enabled)? Something similar to S3 PIT Restore?
I have a webapp with data (Google Cloud SQL) and files (Google Cloud Storage), where I would like to be able to restore the state at a specific point in time. Cloud SQL offers this natively, and the recovery can even be done from the Cloud Console.

i am trying to migrate object storage from ibm cloud's one account to another account.I am trying to use rclone but it is very confusing.Please some one help me with proper steps.
You can use IBM App Connect to move all data from a partner cloud storage system like Amazon S3 to Cloud Object Storage or in the same cloud between Cloud storages
Suppose your organization needs to move all data from a partner cloud
storage system like Amazon S3 to Cloud Object Storage. This task
involves the transfer of a large amount of data. By using a batch
retrieve operation in App Connect, you can extract all the files from
an Amazon S3 bucket and upload them to a Cloud Object Storage bucket.
Before you start: This article assumes that you’ve created accounts
for Amazon S3 and Cloud Object Storage.
Follow the instructions in this post and just replace Amazon S3 instance with IBM Cloud Object storage from where you want to migrate the data from
I have Configured AWS RDS Postgresql 9.5 few months back. My DB size is almost 1TB. WHen ever i take a manual snapshot of my DB it is showing in Snapshot tab. Wanted to know the physical location of these files stored. My overall DB size is 2TB, I have taken some 20 snapshots. Where are these snapshot stored locally?
NOTE: I have not configured any S3 manually to store this snapshot.
Behind the scenes, the snapshot data is stored in Amazon S3. However, it is not accessible to you (it is stored in a bucket owned and managed by the Amazon RDS service).
You can only interact with the snapshots via the Amazon RDS console and API.
Snapshot Pricing
From Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Pricing – Amazon Web Services:
There is no additional charge for backup storage up to 100% of your total database storage for a region. (Based on our experience as database administrators, the vast majority of databases require less raw storage for a backup than for the primary dataset, meaning that most customers will never pay for backup storage.)
After the DB instance is terminated, backup storage is billed at $0.095 per GiB-month.
Additional backup storage is $0.095 per GiB-month.
I am studying for the Professional Data Engineer and I wonder what is the "Google recommended best practice" for hot data on Dataproc (given that costs are no concern)?
If cost is a concern then I found a recommendation to have all data in Cloud Storage because it is cheaper.
Can a mechanism be set up, such that all data is on Cloud Storage and recent data is cached on HDFS automatically? Something like AWS does with FSx/Lustre and S3.
What to store in HDFS and what to store in GCS is a case-dependant question. Dataproc supports running hadoop or spark jobs on GCS with GCS connector, which makes Cloud Storage HDFS compatible without performance losses.
Cloud Storage connector is installed by default on all Dataproc cluster nodes and it's available on both Spark and PySpark environments.
After researching a bit: the performance of HDFS and Cloud Storage (or any other blog store) is not completely equivalent. For instance a "mv" operation in a blob store is emulated as copy + delete.
What the ASF can do is warn that our own BlobStore filesystems (currently s3:, s3n: and swift:) are not complete replacements for hdfs:, as operations such as rename() are only emulated through copying then deleting all operations, and so a directory rename is not atomic -a requirement of POSIX filesystems which some applications (MapReduce) currently depend on.

For log-intensive microservices, I was hoping to persist my logs into blobs and save them in azure blob storage (s3 alternative). However, I noticed that fluentd does not seem to support it out of the box.
Is there any alternative for persisting my logs in azure like so in S3?
There are plugins that support Fluend with Azure blob storage,specifically blob append:
Azure Storage Append Blob output plugin buffers logs in local file and uploads them to Azure Storage Append Blob periodically.
there's a step by step guide available here which is a Microsoft solution, there's also an external plugin with same capabilities here
There is an easy solution to use a lightweight log forwarding agent from DataDog which is called vector. This is, of course, free to use and a better alternative to fluentd for a non-enterprise level use case.
I recently set that up to forward the logs from Azure AKS to a storage bucket in near real-time. Feel free to check out my Blog and Youtube Video on the same. I hope it helps.
I have created instance in compute engine with windows server 2012. i cant see any option to take automatic backup for instance disk database everyday. there is option of snapshot but we need to operate this manually. please suggest any way to backup automatically and can be restore able on a single click. if is there any other possibility using cloud SQL storage or any other storage please recommend.
thanks
There's an API to take snapshots, see API section here:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/create-snapshots#create_your_snapshot
You can write a simple app to get triggered from Cron or something to take a snapshot periodically.
You have no provision for automatic back up for compute engine disk. But you can do a manual disk backup by creating a snapshot.
Best alternative way is to create a bucket and move your files there. Google cloud buckets have automated back up facility available.
Cloud storage and cloud SQL are your options for automated back ups in google cloud.
