Is it not correct to mount GCS on its own WAS?

I am doing video services and uploading videos to Google Cloud Storage.

You saw that it was not correct to mount GCS on its own WAS(web Service).

My Question

  1. Is it wrong to mount its own WAS and GCS?

    (Do you recommend to mount your own WAS and GCS?)

  2. How do I mount my own WAS and GCS?

  3. If not, how should I use GCS?

  4. Are there related documents?

If you want to serve videos that are stored in GCS, a common approach would be to use URL links to publicly accessible buckets and objects in them. You can have a look at an article about accessing public data here. Before that you would need to make your data public.

You can mount GCS buckets as file systems on your own Linux system with the help of the open source Cloud Storage FUSE adapter. You can check out the GCP documentation here and if you wish to learn more about GCS FUSE you can check out the official GitHub repository where it is also explained how to install and mount it.

If your wish to upload and download Cloud Storage objects using standard file system semantics in your application, Cloud Storage FUSE is a suitable choice.
