Migrate LFS to Object Storage (GCS)
As of 10.2, we can now store LFS objects in object storage. I propose we put these on Google Cloud Storage.
Considerations:
- How do we move current LFS objects to object storage?
- Would this infrastructure
1828227 or have any infrastructure2034000? - What storage class do we want to store these as, two main options. The main difference is guaranteed availability and pricing.
- multi-region
-
regional
- this is my recommendation because we will only be accessing the data from the GitLab application in the same region, we won't need global access as the end user has no direct access to the bucket.
There was a relatively long Slack thread (internal only) on this and artifact migrations as well.
I'm sure there are more considerations I can't think of at the moment, so please chime in with anything I missed.
