Question

Your company has strict compliance rules that require you to be notified about any modifications to files and documents hosted on Cloud Storage.

Explanation

Chosen solution directs you to configure Cloud Storage to send object change notifications to Pub/Sub. This approach ensures that every time an object is created, updated, or deleted, a message is immediately published to a Pub/Sub topic. You can then subscribe to that topic (or have a Cloud Function triggered) to forward an alert (or process the event further). This method is automated, incurs minimal management overhead, and follows Google Cloud’s best practices for integrating notifications.
