GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

An organization wants to reduce the storage costs of application logs that are currently written to the project's default log bucket. The cloud engineer proposes lowering the bucket's retention period from 30 days to 7 days. Why can this change be applied to the _Default bucket but not to the _Required bucket that exists in the same project?

  • Because the _Default bucket resides in regional Cloud Storage, but the _Required bucket uses Multi-Region storage that does not support custom retention.

  • Because the _Default bucket's retention policy is user-configurable, whereas the _Required bucket has a fixed 400-day retention that cannot be altered or deleted.

  • Because the _Default bucket is part of Log Analytics and supports per-table TTL settings, whereas the _Required bucket is locked when Log Analytics is enabled.

  • Because the _Default bucket only stores Debug severity logs, while the _Required bucket stores Error and Critical logs that must be kept for at least one year.
