Google Cloud DNS CNAME aliasing to Google Cloud Storage

4

The Google Cloud Storage documentation states :

If you want the test.example.com to serve the same content as is served from www.example.com, add a CNAME record that aliases "test" to "www". A separate bucket is not needed in this scenario. https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/website-configuration?hl=en

With the alias CNAME in place (on Google Cloud DNS) the following error is being thrown by the Cloud Storage : 

<Error>
 <Code>NoSuchBucket</Code>
 <Message>The specified bucket does not exist.</Message>   
</Error>

Has this behavior changed and the documentation hasn't been updated ? Or are there any additional steps required to make this work ?

I was able to reproduce the same issue. As confirmed with the engineering team, CNAME > CNAME > bucket is not possible which is the opposite of what the documentation is saying. I was able to file a request for the documentation change which should be modified soon. As a workaround, creating a new bucket with the subdomain will resolve your issue.

CNAME is equivalent to your sub domain. Please use the step by step procedure from Google Cloud Platform Documentation. See below:
