Google Cloud Associate Data Practitioner — Question 18

Your organization plans to move their on-premises environment to Google Cloud. Your organization’s network bandwidth is less than 1 Gbps. You need to move over 500 ТВ of data to Cloud Storage securely, and only have a few days to move the data. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Request multiple Transfer Appliances, copy the data to the appliances, and ship the appliances back to Google Cloud to upload the data to Cloud Storage.
• B. Connect to Google Cloud using VPN. Use Storage Transfer Service to move the data to Cloud Storage.
• C. Connect to Google Cloud using VPN. Use the gcloud storage command to move the data to Cloud Storage.
• D. Connect to Google Cloud using Dedicated Interconnect. Use the gcloud storage command to move the data to Cloud Storage.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using Transfer Appliances allows for the secure and efficient movement of large volumes of data, especially when bandwidth is limited. Options B and C rely on VPNs, which would be too slow for this amount of data given the bandwidth constraints. Option D also doesn't fit as Dedicated Interconnect is not necessary for this scenario.
