CHLOE CONDON: Are you looking to migrate large amounts of data
between Cloud Storage buckets but don't know where to start?
Then stay tuned, this video is for you.
Hi, I'm Chloe.
And today, I'll be walking you through the steps as well
as some best practices to transfer data
quickly and securely between object
and file storage across Google Cloud, Amazon, Azure,
on-premises, and more with Storage Transfer Service.
Let's get started.

What your transfer strategy looks like
depends on the complexity of your situation.
Before you get started, you want to make considerations
while developing your plan.
There are many options to consider
when transferring your data, including decisions
around logging, filtering, as well as
considerations around deletion versus overwriting.
For more information on things to consider ahead
of your transfer, including bucket naming, transfer speed
optimization, downtime minimization, metadata
preservation options, versioned object handling, and more,
check out the documentation linked in the description
below.
Once you've defined your transfer strategy,
it's time to perform the transfer itself.
When choosing a location for your storage bucket,
you'll want to consider the differences in availability,
price, and performance.
We've provided a link in the description of a helpful table
breakdown of these options, as well as
information on copying over bucket metadata.
But for now, let's show you how it works.
You can copy objects from the source bucket
to a new bucket using the Google Cloud console, the gcloud CLI,
REST API, or client libraries.
Which approach you choose depends
on your transfer strategy.
In this demo, we'll be using the Google Cloud console.
To begin, open the Transfer page in the Google Cloud console
and click Create Transfer Job.
Get started.
Use Google Cloud Storage as both your Source type
and Destination type.
Choose a source.
Either enter the name of the wanted bucket
directly or click Browse to find and select the bucket you want.
Choose a destination.
Either enter the name of the wanted bucket
directly or click Browse to find and select the bucket you want.
Scheduling options.
You can ignore this section for the purposes of this demo.
Batch is for single transfers or recurring scheduled transfers
while Event-driven is a great option for real-time migrations
based on notifications.
We'll select Batch since we're doing a one-time transfer.
Choose Settings.
Select the option "Delete files from source
after they're transferred."
After you complete the step-by-step walkthrough,
click Create.
This begins the process of copying objects
from your old bucket into your new one.
This process may take some time.
However, after you click Create, you
can navigate away from the Google Cloud Console.
If you'd like to view the transfer's progress,
open the Transfer page in the Google Cloud Console.
Once the transfer completes, there's
no need to do anything to delete the objects
from your old bucket if you selected
"Delete source objects after the transfer completes"
during setup.
You may, however, want to also delete your old bucket, which
you must do separately.
Once you've confirmed that your data has transferred
and you've verified your migration,
it's time to start using the destination bucket you created.
Be sure to update any existing applications
or workloads so that they use the new target bucket name.
You can check data access logs in Cloud audit
logs to ensure that your operations are correctly
modifying and reading objects.
Once you've confirmed everything is working well,
you can delete your original bucket.
You can also set up the option of deleting objects
after they have been transferred or schedule object deletion.
