Google Cloud Professional Cloud Security Engineer — Question 28

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 current data backup and disaster recovery solutions to GCP for later analysis. The organization's production environment will remain on- premises for an indefinite time. The organization wants a scalable and cost-efficient solution.
Which GCP solution should the organization use?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice, B, Cloud Storage using a scheduled task and gsutil, is optimal for migrating backups and disaster recovery data efficiently and cost-effectively. Other options like A and C involve more complexity and cost without the immediate need for processing power, while D may not handle large-scale backups as effectively as Cloud Storage.
