Google Cloud Associate Data Practitioner — Question 53

You are constructing a data pipeline to process sensitive customer data stored in a Cloud Storage bucket. You need to ensure that this data remains accessible, even in the event of a single-zone outage. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Set up a Cloud CDN in front of the bucket.
• B. Enable Object Versioning on the bucket.
• C. Store the data in a multi-region bucket.
• D. Store the data in Nearline storage.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because storing the data in a multi-region bucket ensures that it is replicated across multiple locations, providing high availability during a zone outage. Option A, setting up a Cloud CDN, enhances performance but does not address data accessibility during failures. Option B, enabling Object Versioning, helps with data recovery but does not prevent loss during an outage. Finally, Option D, using Nearline storage, is not suitable for frequent access needed during outages.
