Hi all! I'm struggling to figure out how nested buckets are created with GCS. My code looks like:

const bucketHome = new gcp.storage.Bucket("bucket-web", {
  name: bucketHomeName,
  location: hostArea,
});

const bucketFrontendDeploys = new gcp.storage.Bucket("bucket-frontend-deploys", {
  name: pulumi.interpolate`${bucketHome.name}/deploy/frontend`,
  location: hostArea,
});

But Google doesn't allow slashes in a bucket name, so although

bucket-web

will be created fine, the second

bucket-frontend-deploys

will give back an error

googleapi: Error 400: Invalid bucket name

when I run

pulumi up

. That leaves me with the question: How exactly do you created nested buckets?! It feels like there's something simple that I'm missing. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi Louis, this issue is not related to Pulumi. If you are looking for an analogy: the bucket is the storage (ie, the disk), and what you put inside, objects, are like files. GCP has retriction on bucket name, so you cannot use slash in bucket name. The general principle is explained here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage
