This page shows you how to create Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped storage WORM buckets.
Before you begin
A project namespace manages bucket resources in the Management API server. You
must have a project to work with buckets and objects.
You must also have the appropriate bucket permissions to perform the following
operation. See Grant bucket access.
Create a WORM bucket
A WORM bucket ensures that nothing else overwrites objects and it retains them for
a minimum period of time. Audit logging is an example use case for a WORM bucket.
Take the following steps to create a WORM bucket:
Set a retention period when creating the bucket. For example, the following
example bucket has a retention period of 365 days.
