Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 82

An organization needs frequent access to only a subset of their data. They want to reduce costs by depositing the rest of their data across Nearline, Coldline, and Archive repositories.

Which Google Cloud product should the organization use?

Answer options

• A. Filestore
• B. Cloud Storage
• C. Data Catalog
• D. Cloud Spanner

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is Cloud Storage, as it is designed for storing data with varying access frequencies, including Nearline, Coldline, and Archive options. Filestore is primarily for file storage, Data Catalog is for metadata management, and Cloud Spanner is a relational database, none of which suit the organization's needs for cost-effective data storage.
