Object Versioning in Google Cloud Storage

In this hands-on lab, you will enable versioning in a Cloud Storage bucket that has already been created for you. You will then work with new versions, simulating corrupted data, and then revert a non-current version to live status. Finally, you will implement Lifecycle Management rules to handle non-live versions as well as live versions over their policy-enforced lifespan.
