Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When you use a customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) to secure a Cloud Storage bucket, the key and the bucket must be located in the same region. In this case, the key is in europe-west3 and the bucket is in europe-west1, which is why you're unable to access the key.

A) A firewall rule prevents the key from being accessible. Wouldn't that be just my luck? I bet the network team is laughing it up right now.

I bet the person setting this up was like, 'Hey, let's make this extra complicated!' C'mon, just put the key and the bucket in the same project, it's not rocket science!

D) The CMEK is in a different region than the Cloud Storage bucket. Gotta make sure those are aligned, or else you're gonna have a bad time.

I think the issue is that the CMEK is in a different project than the Cloud Storage bucket.
