Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 focused on expanding cross-cloud interoperability by enabling Google Cloud Storage (GCS) to be used as an S3-compatible backend within the multi-storage-client. This was achieved by introducing a new GoogleS3StorageProvider and mapping, allowing GCS to be accessed via an S3 interface with checksum configuration support. The work also included aligning the storage provider abstraction to accommodate S3-compatible backends and updating end-to-end testing accordingly.
