• Chose B1

  It means from the day the object was created (first uploaded or saved) to the bucket.In GCP Cloud Storage, the Age condition is always measured relative to the object's original creation date, regardless of how many times its storage class changed.How the Timeline Works in Option B:Day 0: The video is uploaded/saved to the bucket (Creation Date).Day 90: SetStorageClass triggers. Object moves to Coldline (90 days since creation).Day 365: Delete triggers. Object is permanently deleted (365 days since creation).⚠️ Common Exam TrapThe exam tries to trick you into thinking the timer "resets" when an object changes storage classes (which is why Option A tries to subtract $365 - 90 = 275$).Remember for the ACE exam: GCP lifecycle Age never resets. Age $X$ always means $X$ days after the file first entered the bucket

• Chose A2

  It should be A, it says after 365 days of creation, not after moved to Coldline.

• Chose B1

  Create two lifecycle rules on the bucket: Transition to Coldline after 90 days Condition: Age = 90 Action: SetStorageClass → Coldline Delete after 365 days Condition: Age = 365 Action: Delete This ensures: Objects remain in the original Regional class for 90 days. After 90 days → automatically moved to Coldline. After 365 days from creation → permanently deleted.
