Your security team asks you to generate a report that shows how the IAM policy on a particular Cloud Storage bucket has evolved during the last two weeks. No manual snapshots were taken, so you need to query Google Cloud for point-in-time metadata about the bucket's configuration on specific past dates. Which Google Cloud service should you use to retrieve this historical asset information?
Cloud Asset Inventory keeps a time-series database of Google Cloud resources and their IAM policies. It lets you query or export the state of an asset at a past timestamp, making it ideal for reconstructing historical configurations such as earlier IAM policies on a Cloud Storage bucket. Cloud Audit Logs and Cloud Logging store event and log data, not full asset state. Cloud Monitoring tracks metrics, not resource configurations.
