I have a Cloud Datalab VM which I understand has some persistent storage. I have some data stored in a GCP bucket. Questions:

1) Does the Cloud Datalab VM persistent storage provide better performance than the GCP bucket? 2) How do I migrate the data from the bucket to the Datalab VM?

If you are using a regional storage class for the GCS buckets, it have almost the same performance as compared with the persistent disks. You can also check various parameters mentioned here, which describes the specialty of GCS buckets as well.

As mentioned in this help center article you can easily connect your GCS bucket with any GCP resources, local machines and other cloud services etc.

Migrating/transferring data to/from the GCS buckets is the most easiest task. You can use gsutil command to achieve this.

Additionally, you can also seek the help of ‘Storage Transfer Service’ if you are planning to perform a data transfer from external cloud service(ex:AWS S3 bucket) to a GCP storage bucket.
