Use inside GCP estates. Depot object-storage/cheap-egress defaults remain R2. Strengths: Global durability and IAM integration with GCP agent stacks; Tight Vertex/BigQuery adjacency; Mature lifecycle/autoclass.
Lock-in risk: higher = more lock-in (worse). Overall already inverts this dimension.

- · Pricing complexity vs R2 flat story
- · Lock-in with GCP IAM patterns
Pricing notes
As of 2026-09-14: Standard/Nearline/Coldline/Archive storage + ops + egress (egress often dominates agent artifact serving). Autoclass available. Prefer when already on GCP; for zero-egress public serving prefer R2/Tigris/Wasabi/B2.
