Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect — Question 33

Your company is moving 75 TB of data into Google Cloud. You want to use Cloud Storage and follow Google-recommended practices. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Move your data onto a Transfer Appliance. Use a Transfer Appliance Rehydrator to decrypt the data into Cloud Storage.
• B. Move your data onto a Transfer Appliance. Use Cloud Dataprep to decrypt the data into Cloud Storage.
• C. Install gsutil on each server that contains data. Use resumable transfers to upload the data into Cloud Storage.
• D. Install gsutil on each server containing data. Use streaming transfers to upload the data into Cloud Storage.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using a Transfer Appliance is a recommended method for transferring large amounts of data securely into Cloud Storage. Option B incorrectly suggests using Cloud Dataprep, which is not designed for this purpose. Options C and D involve using gsutil, which is less efficient for transferring such a large volume of data compared to a Transfer Appliance.
