Google cloud storage class and location

[pditommaso]

Is there any example showing how to set the storage class and location of a bucket with the Google storage API ?

We have a number of examples showing how to create a bucket in google-cloud-examples. Examples are not showing all possible configurations that you can set though. However, if you look at the javadoc, you'll see that BucketInfo.Builder exposes two setters: storageClass and location.

You can create a bucket with location and storage class:

Storage storage = optionsBuilder.build().service();
BucketInfo bucketInfo = BucketInfo.builder("nearline-eu-bucket")
    .location("eu")
    .storageClass("NEARLINE") // default is "STANDARD"
    .build();
Bucket bucket = storage.create(bucketInfo);

Hope this helps!
