title: Copying data between two google cloud projects and best practice for DEV & PROD environment in data centric environment
body: <p>I have two questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>As storage bucket names are unique, how do I keep bucket name exactly same in development environment and production environment. Or what are best practice for dev and prod environment in data based environment?</p></li>
  <li><p>How do i copy data from one project to other. I tried searching but i could not get efficient way to copy between 2 projects. </p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>PS: Storage transfer allows copying between 2 buckets within same project, not cross project. I was not able to find bucket from different project even with search option. I searched using gs://another-project-bucket</p>
