Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 108

Your company wants to try out the cloud with low risk. They want to archive approximately 100 TB of their log data to the cloud and test the analytics features available to them there, while also retaining that data as a long-term disaster recovery backup.
Which two steps should you take? (Choose two.)

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Loading logs into Google BigQuery allows for advanced analytics on the data, making it ideal for testing analytics features.
