Managed Service for Apache Spark staging buckets

Staging buckets let you store workload dependencies, configuration files, and job driver console output for Managed Service for Apache Spark. When you run workloads, the service creates a Cloud Storage bucket in your project or reuses an existing staging bucket from previous batch creation requests. For more information, see Managed Service for Apache Spark staging and temp buckets.

The service manages these project-level buckets in Cloud Storage locations matching workload Compute Engine zones. Workloads in the same region share buckets, which are created with Cloud Storage soft delete retention set to 0 seconds.
