Google Cloud Storage is a powerful and cost-effective storage solution for unstructured objects,
perfect for everything from hosting live web content to storing data for analytics to archiving
and backup.

In this tutorial, you will learn to store objects in Cloud Storage. Here are the steps you will be
taking:

A) Create a bucket: Buckets hold the objects (any type of file) you want to store in Cloud
Storage.

B) Upload and share objects: Start using your bucket by uploading an object and making it
publicly available.

C) Clean up: As a final step, you'll delete the bucket and object you created for this Lab.

Since you'll be deleting your bucket and object at the end, don't worry about getting charged
for the activities in this Lab.

1. Using Google Chrome, go to https://cloud.google.com/
