    **What is Cloud Storage?**\ \ In Google Cloud Platform (GCP), **Cloud Storage** is a service that provides scalable and secure object storage for unstructured data. It allows you to store, retrieve, and manage data like images, videos, backups, and other large files. GCP Cloud Storage offers different storage classes (e.g., Standard, Nearline, Coldline, and Archive) to optimize cost and performance based on data access patterns. It also includes features like automatic redundancy, versioning, and integration with other GCP services.

    **What is Stadard option under Storage?**\ \ The **Standard** option under Storage in Google Cloud refers to a storage class designed for frequently accessed data. It provides high availability and low latency, making it suitable for data that is accessed often, such as active website content, application data, or frequently used backups. While it is the most expensive storage class, it offers the best performance for high-access scenarios.

    **What is Fine-grained Access control?**\ \ **Fine-grained access control** refers to a detailed and precise method of managing permissions and access to resources. Instead of applying broad access policies, fine-grained access control allows you to specify detailed permissions at a more granular level, such as individual files, folders, or specific actions within a system. This approach provides greater control and security, ensuring that users or systems have access only to the resources they need, and can perform only the actions they are authorized to.
