Google Cloud Associate Data Practitioner — Question 19

Your company currently uses an on-premises network file system (NFS) and is migrating data to Google Cloud. You want to be able to control how much bandwidth is used by the data migration while capturing detailed reporting on the migration status. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Use a Transfer Appliance.
• B. Use Cloud Storage FUSE.
• C. Use Storage Transfer Service.
• D. Use gcloud storage commands.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice, Storage Transfer Service, allows you to control bandwidth usage and provides detailed reporting on the migration process. Transfer Appliance is used for large data transfers but doesn't provide bandwidth control or reporting. Cloud Storage FUSE is mainly for mounting Cloud Storage as a file system and lacks migration-specific features. Gcloud storage commands are useful for various tasks but do not offer the specialized capabilities needed for managing data migration bandwidth and reporting.
