Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 57

Your company has recently acquired three growing startups in three different countries. You want to reduce overhead in infrastructure management and keep your costs low without sacrificing security and quality of service to your customers.
How should you meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Host all your subsidiaries' services on-premises together with your existing services.
• B. Host all your subsidiaries' services together with your existing services on the public cloud.
• C. Build a homogenous infrastructure at each subsidiary, and invest in training their engineers.
• D. Build a homogenous infrastructure at each subsidiary, and invest in hiring more engineers.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because hosting services on the public cloud allows for scalability and cost efficiency while maintaining security and quality. Option A increases overhead costs by relying on on-premises infrastructure. Options C and D focus on building infrastructure and staffing, which does not address the immediate need for cost reduction and can lead to higher expenses.
