Hi Arun, I have no experience using GCS and fuse outside a GCP zone, but I can imagine that a connection between a VPS on vpsserver.com and GCS gives a worse response than hosting GeoServer on GCP in the same zone as where your GCS bucket is located.
The use case I have tested was a database restore (PostGIS) on Kubernetes. That worked very well, but hosting COGs over fuse might give a disappointing performance. However, it's easy to set up so I'd suggest giving it a try. Cheers, Jan -------------------------------------- System Architect and Lead Developer Geodan b.v.
