Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer — Question 157

You are working for a hospital that stores its medical images in an on-premises data room. The hospital wants to use Cloud Storage for archival storage of these images. The hospital wants an automated process to upload any new medical images to Cloud Storage. You need to design and implement a solution. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a Pub/Sub topic, and enable a Cloud Storage trigger for the Pub/Sub topic. Create an application that sends all medical images to the Pub/Sub topic.
• B. Deploy a Dataflow job from the batch template, ג€Datastore to Cloud Storage.ג€ Schedule the batch job on the desired interval.
• C. Create a script that uses the gsutil command line interface to synchronize the on-premises storage with Cloud Storage. Schedule the script as a cron job.
• D. In the Cloud Console, go to Cloud Storage. Upload the relevant images to the appropriate bucket.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because using a script with the gsutil command line interface allows for an automated synchronization process between on-premises storage and Cloud Storage, making it suitable for handling new medical images efficiently. Options A and B involve more complex setups that do not directly address the requirement for automated uploads, and option D is not automated as it requires manual uploads.
