One concept per question. If you can explain each of these without hesitating, you are in good shape on Storage.

Match storage class to actual access frequency, not to a general sense of importance
A locked retention policy is immutable and binds even administrators
Bucket names share a single global namespace
Shared read-write access with file semantics requires network file storage
Minimum storage duration makes cold classes expensive for short-lived data
Edge caching reduces both origin load and egress cost simultaneously
Signed URLs grant time-limited access to a specific object without an identity
