Is google-cloud-storage pricing dependent on the bucket location? - google-cloud-storage

i have dedicated server in canada and would like to use google-cloud-storage as offsite backup.
so i will be pushing/uploading data from canada to google-cloud-storage located in us-east1.
will there be any pricing difference if i create a bucket in us-central1 instead of us-east1 ?
or the pricing is same for any location ?
i ask this becuase i have been using amazon services and their pricing totally depends on the location of amazon server/services .


No. Google Cloud Storage charges the same amount for storing data regardless of the location it's stored, and there is no charge for uploading data into Google Cloud Storage.
There are some pricing differences for serving data based on location, but for serving data from Google to outside of Google, us-centra1 and us-east1 are effectively equivalent in this regard.
The pricing details for Google Cloud Storage are published here: https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing

S/4HANA API to extract FSV into Google Cloud

we have FSV (Financial Statement Version) created in SAP. We would like to extract this into our Cloud Storage (Google Cloud/BigQuery). Is it possible?
Currently we only know how to retrieve the Journal entries with G/L accounts, Cost Centers etc, but cannot retrieve FSV data also with it. We are now managing the FSV hierarchy manually in google sheets, which needs to be updated each time there is a change in G/L accounts. Financial Statement Version

Cloud Api Product Search asked for storing the images in the google cloud storage, but can i store them in the firebase storage as alternative?

I'm using the Cloud Api product search, they ask me to store the images and the csv file in the google cloud storage but i'm already using firebase in my project and my images stored there so can i choose firebase than the google cloud ?

Yes, you can use it as an alternative. As Renaud Tarnec commented, Firebase Storage underneath is Google Cloud Storage. This means that any bucket in your Firebase console is actually a regular Google Cloud Storage bucket.
You can confirm this by creating a Storage Bucket in the Firebase console and uploading objects to it (images for your dataset and the CSV file). If you access the Cloud Storage page in the GCP console, the same bucket and objects will be there.
As for using the Vision Product Search API with Firebase Storage, I followed this quickstart guide, but edited the CSV file to point to images that were uploaded to the default Firebase Storage bucket (PROJECT-ID.appspot.com).
After letting the dataset images index, I was then able to send an image to be compared to the dataset as expected.
Keep in mind the service account you use to create a Vision API dataset must be able to read Cloud Storage Objects to access the images in your Firebase Storage bucket. Let me know if this was useful.

Can you please tell me how is Cloud DB different from Huawei Cloud?
Can I have the same parent-child relationship while storing data as, i get on firebase in Huawei Cloud?
Also since Cloud DB is in beta, does that mean i cannot release the app on AppGallery Connect?

Cloud DB is a scalable serverless database product provided by AppGallery Connect (AGC), it supports device-cloud data synergy management, provides a simple and easy-to-use native SDK for multiple platforms - Android apps, iOS apps, and web applications can directly access Cloud DB through the SDK. Cloud DB uses the data storage structure based on the object model. Data is stored in different Cloud DB zone as objects. Each object is a complete data record. An object type is used to define a set of stored objects. Different object types correspond to different data structures. A Cloud DB zone is an independent data storage area. Each Cloud DB zone has the same object type definition. You can define object types, create Cloud DB zones, and manage data on the AppGallery Connect console. Cloud DB supports multiple Data Types, including simple character strings, digits, and texts.
When you say "Huawei Cloud", it is a broad term, this term mainly refers to the enterprise Huawei Cloud similar to Alibaba Cloud, AWS, Azure, etc. There are many database services in Huawei Cloud such as RDS, GaussDB, DDS, DRS, DAS, etc. These databases are designed for enterprise use cases like IoT, e-commerce, finance, web, mobile gaming, e-government.
AGC Cloud DB is an alternative to replace Firebase Realtime Database however it simply stores an object and does not provide parent-child relationships. If you are looking for object type, parent-child relationship storage in Huawei Cloud, you can consider GaussDB for Mongo, GaussDB for Cassandra. Please consider how you would like to access data in your product before choosing the best database.
Although AGC Cloud DB is in beta, you can use it in your app (free tier quota only) and release it in AppGallery. Please check out the supported platforms here and quota/charges here.
When you apply for the Cloud DB service for the first time, if your application requires more resources than the free quota, or if you have enabled the free Cloud DB service but the free resource quota cannot meet your application requirements, you can download and fill in an application form, and send it as an attachment to agconnect#huawei.com.

Cloud database Service of HUAWEI Cloud is used for web development and web application setup.
AGC's Cloud DB is a cloud database service for mobile application development.
https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/doc/development/AppGallery-connect-Guides/agc-clouddb-introduction
The beta state only restricts developer's access. Developer who have applied for the use can use the application as will, and they can release their applications, released applications are not affected.

Can any cloud functions have a UK IP address?

I'm looking at creating a mobile application that will need to connect with a third-party API. This API requires a UK IP address, so I need cloud functions with a UK IP address.
Google Cloud Functions don't seem to support this. I think AWS may do, but I don't really understand any of it enough just yet (a GCP man). Asked MongoDB support but they directed me to a ticket system and no reply yet.
It would be great if someone could point me to a provider that supports cloud functions with UK IP addresses and an guide on how to set it up.

You can deploy your Cloud Function in different regions in the world. To see all the available regions you can go to Cloud locations - Products available by region documentation. Cloud Functions are not available in all the regions as you can see from the documentation and the United Kingdom is not listed in the available regions.
Therefore, it is not possible to have a Cloud Function running on UK ip. As a workaround you can always redirect the request using another API.

Does Google Cloud Storage Backup and What Are Prices For 1Tb?

I am wondering does Google Cloud backup there servers. For example has anyone ever lost there data, or maybe is there any off chance that this can happen? Or has Google has a strategy to prevent this. Or is it up to us to make backups?
Also I have another question. I have a site with 1TB of downloadable files. I'm wondering on the cost each month and the bandwidth prices?
Thanks
