Google Cloud is set to develop a new tool that will enable users to create and manage certain resources and services directly, as well as providing a performance advantage.
When it comes to cloud storage, the cloud company claims that the term "gcloud storage CLI" will allow up to 94% faster data transfer.
Users were previously permitted to modify their Google Cloud resources on the command line or via scripts via Google Cloud CLI, but the new feature is supposedly set to revolutionize the experience.
How does it work?
Two key developments in gcloud storage are the result of Google''s rapid transfer rates.
Firstly, gcloud storage apparently hashed faster for CRC32C data integrity checks, which must handle the tedious setup required for gsutil, the tool''s Python-based predecessor.
Second, the new tool utilizes a new parallelization strategy that treats task management as a graph problem, which implies that "more work must be done in parallel with far less overhead."
Google claims that when transferring 100 files that were 100MB in length, gcloud storage is 79% faster than gsutil on download and 33% faster than gsutil on upload using a parallel composite upload strategy.
The new tool, which includes performance improvements, is also a "consistent manner" to manage all Google Cloud resources, like Cloud Storage buckets, Compute Engine VMs, and Google Kubernetes Engine clusters.
gcloud storage, according to reports, reduces the amount of top-level commands users must use to manage their Cloud Storage resources by grouped commands under common headers.
The new Google Cloud SDK (opens in a new tab) is currently available and ready to use without additional fees.
