The Zero-Cost Cloud Engineer Part 4: Hybrid Storage, Secrets, and the Legacy VM Trap In our previous tutorials, we secured an internet-less Compute Engine VM, established centralized logging, and decoupled our architecture with Pub/Sub. Now, we hit the next major architectural bottleneck: Our 30GB Hard Drive limit. If you allow users to upload files directly to your VM's block storage, you will quickly max out your Free Tier limits, crashing your OS. Resilient architectures offload files to Obje
