BEST FOR COST EFFICIENCY AND DATA RETENTION = ARCHIVE
HOW TO CREATE ARCHIVE SNAPSHOT
gcloud compute snapshots create archive-snapshot-1
--project=zero-369509 --source-disk=instance-1
--source-disk-zone=us-west4-b --snapshot-type=ARCHIVE
--storage-location=us-west4
gcloud compute snapshots create archive-snapshot-1
--project=zero-369509 --source-disk=instance-1
--source-disk-zone=us-west4-b --snapshot-type=ARCHIVE
--storage-location=us
BEST FOR LONG-TERM AND DISASTER RECOVERY
gcloud compute snapshots create snapshot-1 --project=zero-369509
--source-disk=instance-1 --source-disk-zone=us-west4-b --storage-location=us-west4
HOW TO SCHEDULE THE SNAPSHOT AND AUTOMATE THE DELETION PROCESS
gcloud compute resource-policies create snapshot-schedule schedule-1
--project=zero-369509 --region=us-central1 --max-retention-days=30
--on-source-disk-delete=apply-retention-policy --daily-schedule
--start-time=05:00 --storage-location=us-central1 --guest-flush
HOW TO RETRIEVE THE ARCHIVED SNAPSHOT CLUSTER TO DISK
gcloud compute disks create disk-1 --project=zero-369509
--type=pd-balanced --size=10GB --zone=us-central1-a
--source-snapshot=projects/zero-369509/global/snapshots/archive-snapshot-1
