This topic describes how to migrate data from Google Cloud Storage to Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS).
Alibaba Cloud Data Transport is used as a data channel between various data stores. With Data Transport, you can migrate data from third-party data stores to OSS or between OSS buckets.
With Data Transport, you only need to log on to the console, specify a source data address and a destination OSS endpoint, and then create a migration job. After starting a migration job, you can perform management tasks for the job, such as viewing the process and status of the job. Additionally, you can generate a migration report to view the list of migrated files and the list of files that failed to migrate.
- When you read data from the source data address during a migration job, this produces an expense incurred by outbound traffic. You are charged by the storage service provider of the source data address.
- By default, Data Transport does not support cross-country data migration. For example, you cannot migrate data from a data address that is located in China (Beijing) to a data address that is located in US (Silicon Valley). If you have similar requirements, you must open a ticket before creating a migration job. You must apply for the necessary permissions to create a cross-country migration job. You must ensure that your business is legitimate, data does not include illegal information, and data transit conforms to local rules and regulations.
