    As a Cloud Engineer while working on a migration project we used GCR and my experience of using it is actually good the reason behind this is: 1: GCR uses industry-standard encryption to protect your data.2: GCR offers data loss prevention features to help you prevent sensitive data from being leaked or exposed and last but not the least is GCR provides audit logging so you can track who has accessed your data and when, because of these reasons its my go to tool.

    Clearly, the [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] tool is very useful when you have multiple services and each service is connecting with other services through APIs in different networks. To manage this type of complex network, [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] is very useful. It comes with a license that can increase the billing of your project so make sure if your application network mesh, monitoring cannot be managed on your own then you can use it. If your application is not very complex then you have many tools available like Grafana, Prometheus, Sumo Logic, which you can integrate individually with your cluster and implement. In this type of scenario, it is better to not use [IBM Cloud Managed Istio] and it will serve your purpose as well.

    Cons
    Google
    • The one area which i think GCR lacks is that it currently supports a limited number of file types
    • The major flaw a felt while working on it is it does not have feature of object versioning and object locking

    It is very easy to integrate GCR with other services and I integrated GCR with GKE and Cloud Build. 1: While working on one project I created one pipeline pulls the app's Docker image from GCR and builds the app's Docker image. Deployed that apps image in GKE. 2: Ive stored the data in GCR and that data was being used by cloud Run applications

    Return on Investment
    Google
    • As a DevOps Engineer , GCR has made a important contribution to my organisation because GCR can be used to store code and assets, which can help to reduce the development time for new projects.
    • Using GCR has bee­n a cost-effective solution for us since­ we only pay for the storage we­ actually utilise. This has resulted in significant savings on our cloud storage­ expenses.
    • We trust GCR be­cause they prioritise the­ security of our data by utilising industry-standard encryption. This assurance brings us pe­ace of mind, as we know our information is protecte­d.
