Migrating default google bucket (multi to single region)

Hello Community,

Due to pricing changes for cloud storage (https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing-announce) we would like to migrate a part of our buckets to single region. Is this applicable on the default google buckets ?
(example with "artifacts.my-project.appspot.com" for container registry)

1 - Can we migrate default google storage from multi-region to single region ?
2 - If yes, should we keep the exact same name, otherwise how to do ?
3 - How to avoid service downtime ?

Thanks for the help.

Hi @abrs,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

There is no one-step solution for changing buckets from being multi-regional to regional. You have to create a new regional bucket and move the data as in this link. You may contact Google Cloud Support for further help needed.

Thanks

Hi @christianpaula 

Thank you for you for the welcome. I'm sorry if I was unclear.
My question was specifically targeted at default google buckets.

Thanks
