Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer — Question 250

An organization is starting to move its infrastructure from its on-premises environment to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The first step the organization wants to take is to migrate its ongoing data backup and disaster recovery solutions to GCP. The organization's on-premises production environment is going to be the next phase for migration to GCP. Stable networking connectivity between the on-premises environment and GCP is also being implemented.
Which GCP solution should the organization use?

Answer options

• A. BigQuery using a data pipeline job with continuous updates via Cloud VPN
• B. Cloud Storage using a scheduled task and gsutil via Cloud Interconnect
• C. Compute Engines Virtual Machines using Persistent Disk via Cloud Interconnect
• D. Cloud Datastore using regularly scheduled batch upload jobs via Cloud VPN

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Cloud Storage is ideal for backing up data and disaster recovery, and using gsutil with scheduled tasks leverages Cloud Interconnect for reliable data transfer. Option A is not suitable for backup and recovery, while C, although powerful, is more complex and not specifically designed for the backup use case. Option D does not provide the same level of storage efficiency as Cloud Storage for this scenario.
