Headline: Stanford's cloud security posture has changed and we must now use only UIT-approved cloud storage providers (Cardinal Cloud). IBM is not an approved cloud storage provider and is not on the roadmap to become one, therefore we must cease using it as soon as practical.
When Prescat was first implemented we needed two cloud providers with S3 APIs and archival storage. At the time the only 3 providers who met that requirement were IBM, Oracle and AWS (and Cardinal Cloud did not exist). AWS was an obvious choice. IBM won over Oracle because we required (non-archival) S3 storage for our cloud-based IBM Tivoli install, so going with IBM for preservation as well allowed us to leverage an existing account structure.
Much has changed since then. We have moved our TSM storage to Wasabi and both Azure and GCP have implemented S3-compatible APIs and archival storage to their offerings. And most critically, Stanford's cloud security posture has also changed, requiring us to cease using non-approved cloud storage providers.
This may benefit being broken up into 3 distinct phases:
A GCP project has already been created and is ready for use. Ping me on a non-public forum for details and access.
