The following table provides information about the 30-day introductory trial for Storage Intelligence:

Eligibility

You're eligible to configure the TRIAL tier for Storage Intelligence once for every organization, folder, and project for a 30-day period. If you enable the TRIAL tier for an organization, then all its folders and projects inherit the TRIAL tier. However, if you have enabled the STANDARD tier at any of these nodes, then you are no longer eligible for the introductory TRIAL offer.
Storage Intelligence tiers

A TRIAL tier enables the STANDARD tier features, such as Storage Insights datasets, bucket relocation, and storage batch operations. The TRIAL tier defaults to the STANDARD tier at the end of the 30-day period. If you don't want to use the STANDARD tier, you can disable the TRIAL tier at any time within the 30-day period.
Initiation

You can set the Storage Intelligence configuration to the TRIAL tier using the Google Cloud console, Google Cloud CLI, or REST API. To initiate the TRIAL tier, you'll need the Storage Admin role with the following permissions:

  • storage.intelligenceConfigs.update
  • storageinsights.datasetConfigs.create
Duration

Your introductory trial ends when one of the following occurs:

  • 30 days have elapsed since you initiated the trial.
  • You upgrade your TRIAL tier to the paid STANDARD tier.
  • You disable the TRIAL tier on the organization, project, or folder it was enabled on.

If you don't disable your TRIAL tier after the 30-day introductory trial period, the tier is upgraded to the STANDARD tier and charges are applied in the same project where the buckets and objects are stored. Existing datasets are not removed automatically and they continue to incur storage charges until you delete them. If you terminate the use of the Storage Intelligence STANDARD tier within 30 days of activation, you incur an early termination fee for the remaining duration.
Service level agreement (SLA)

SLAs might be limited during the trial period. The STANDARD tier SLAs can be activated at any time by upgrading the tier. You can activate the STANDARD tier SLA by upgrading the tier at any time during the trial period.
