A Log Bucket in Google Cloud is a specialized storage container within Cloud Logging that holds log entries. It allows you to centralize, organize, and retain logs for analysis, compliance, or troubleshooting. You can configure retention policies, set access controls, and route logs from multiple projects or services into a single bucket for easier management.

| labels | core | array<string> | |
| lifecycle_state | core | string | Output only. The bucket lifecycle state. |
| locked | core | bool | Optional. Whether the bucket is locked.The retention period on a locked bucket cannot be changed. Locked buckets may only be deleted if they are empty. |
